Instead of sleeping for a fixed 1ms (roughly, depending on timer slack),
start with a small sleep and exponentially increase the sleep on each
cycle.
A good example of a beneficiary is the guc mmio communication channel.
Typically we expect (and so spin) for 10us for a quick response, but this
doesn't cover everything and so sometimes we fallback to the millisecond+
sleep. This incurs a significant delay in time-critical operations like
preemption (igt/gem_exec_latency), which can be improved significantly by
using a small sleep after the spin fails.
We've made this suggestion many times, but had little experimental data
to support adding the complexity.
v2: Bump the minimum usleep to 10us on advice of
Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt (Tvrko)
v3: Specify min, max range for usleep intervals -- some code may
crucially depend upon and so want to specify the sleep pattern.
