First version of this patch has already been posted to LKML by Ben 
Hutchings
~6 months ago, but no further action were performed.

Original Ben's message goes below.

===
rtsx_usb_ms creates a task that mostly sleeps, but tasks in
uninterruptible sleep still contribute to the load average (for
bug-compatibility with Unix).  A load average of ~1 on a system that
should be idle is somewhat alarming.

Change the sleep to be interruptible, but still ignore signals.
===

v2 of this patch uses schedule_timeout_idle() instead of msleep() and
removes flush_signals() introduces in v1 of this patch as kthread 
ignores
all signals unless it does allow_signal().
