When the sclp interface takes very long to serve a request, the sclp core
driver will report a failed request to the sclp tty driver even though the
request is still being processed by the sclp interface. Eventually the sclp
interface completes the request and updates some fields in the request buffer
which leads to a corrupted tty pages list. The next time function
sclp_tty_write_room is called, the corrupted list will be traversed, resulting
in an oops.
To avoid this remove the busy retry limit and increase retry intervals.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
