Change the ns_timeout parameter of the wait ioctl to a signed value. Doing this allows the kernel to provide an infinite wait when a timeout of less than 0 is provided. This mimics select/poll. Initially the parameter was meant to match up with the GL spec 1:1, but after being made aware of how much 2^64 - 1 nanoseconds actually is, I do not think anyone will ever notice the loss of 1 bit. The infinite timeout on waiting is similar to the existing i915 userspace interface with the exception that struct_mutex is dropped while doing the wait in this ioctl.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
