Subject: async: Handle kthread_run() return codes.
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=86532d8b167e71e24da8b564348b52977b76d15f;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

async: Handle kthread_run() return codes.

If we fail to create the manager thread, fall back to non-fastboot.
If we fail to create an async thread, try again after waiting for
a bit.
