Umm, I didn't see that:
wli> #0 schedule_timeout (timeout=-150765944) at timer.c:864
wli> #1 0xc01a28a3 in uart_wait_until_sent (tty=0xf7669000, timeout=2147483647)

Its legal for uart_wait_until_sent to be called with 2147483647 (it means
"wait until all characters are sent no matter what"). However, we'll
still call schedule_timeout with a really small value (one character
time) which means we'll be waking up pretty regularly there.

wli - please let me know if Andrew's patch makes any difference for you.
