For non-thinint devices in LPAR, qdio polls an idle Input Queue for a little while to catch more work. But platform support for thinints has been around practically _forever_ by now, so this micro-optimization is seeing 0 actual use. Remove it to reduce the overall complexity of the hot path. In the meantime we also grew support for driver-level polling (eg. NAPI in qeth), so it's quite questionable how useful this would actually be on current kernels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
