Linux Virtualization - Jul 2011 - [PATCH 1/1] Staging: hv: vmbus: Don't wait indefinitely for IRQ resouces

If an attempt is made to load the vmbus driver on a non-Hyper-V platform,
the load operation will hang since we currently wait indefinitely to 
retrieve the IRQ information. This is done in the context of an acpi callback
context (which will obviously not happen when this driver is
loaded on a non-Hyper-V platform). This patch fixes the problem.
