This patch adds an _interruptible version of opal_async_wait_response().
This is useful when a long running OPAL call is performed on behalf of
a userspace thread, for example, the opal_flash_{read,write,erase}
functions performed by the powernv-flash MTD driver.
It is foreseeable that these functions would take upwards of two
minutes causing the wait_event() to block long enough to cause hung
task warnings. Furthermore, wait_event_interruptible() is preferable
as otherwise there is no way for signals to stop the process which is
going to be confusing in userspace.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
