When set to 'no', KNI kernel thread(s) do not call schedule_timeout_interruptible(), which improves overall KNI performance at the expense of CPU cycles (polling). Default values is 'yes', maintaining the same behaviour as of now. Note: this RFC patch is based on v1.7.1, since I was using a 1.7 application. It will eventually be rebased to 1.8 upon acceptance.
