ipmi: reduce polling when interrupts are available
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If we're not currently in the middle of a transaction, and if we have
interrupts, there's no real reason to poll the controller more frequently
than the core IPMI code does.  Set the interrupt_disabled flag
appropriately as the interrupt state changes, and make the timeout code
reset itself only if the transaction is incomplete or we have no
interrupts.
