Accessing the VPD area can take a long time. There are comments in the
SysKonnect vendor driver that it can take up to 25ms.  The existing vpd
access code fails consistently on my hardware.

Change the access routines to:
  * use a mutex rather than spinning with IRQ's disabled and lock held
  * have a longer timeout
  * call schedule while spinning to provide some responsivness
