serial: 8250, increase PASS_LIMIT
With virtual machines like qemu, it's pretty common to see "too much work for irq4" messages nowadays. This happens when a bunch of output is printed on the emulated serial console. This is caused by too low PASS_LIMIT. When ISR loops more than the limit, it spits the message. I've been using a kernel with doubled the limit and I couldn't see no problems. Maybe it's time to get rid of the message now? [2.6.32: background info from Ram Gupta] > I need a patch for serial driver that increases PASS_LIMIT merged in > 3.1.
