Subject: [PATCH] This patch decreases the IPMI message transaction time in Interrupt mode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In function sender(), start_next_msg(smi_info) is when the driver is ready to send the data to BMC,
but counts on the timeout to start the transaction.In interrupt mode what I observed is that driver
simply wastes time, counting on the timer to trigger the transaction. What I have done here is to
cut the wait,and trigger the call to the handler.
This patch considerably decreases the IPMI transaction time (cuts off ~9ms for a single ipmitool transaction).
