So from a "likelihood of breaking" standpoint, I'd really like to make
sure that the "signal_pending()" checks come at the *end* of the loop.
That way, if somebody is doing a 4-byte read from MMIO, he'll never see -EINTR.
I'm specifically thinking of tools like user-space 'lspci' etc, which
I wouldn't be surprised could happen.
Also, just in case things break, I do agree with Ingo that this should
be split up into several patches.
