Doing this allows the kernel to provide an infinite wait when a timeout of less than 0 is provided. This mimics select/poll. Initially the parameter was meant to match up with the GL spec 1:1, but after being made aware of how much 2^64 - 1 nanoseconds actually is, I do not think anyone will ever notice the loss of 1 bit. The infinite timeout on waiting is similar to the existing i915 userspace interface with the exception that struct_mutex is dropped while doing the wait in this ioctl.
