+Subject: serial: 8250, increase PASS_LIMIT
+
+From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>
+
+commit e7328ae1848966181a7ac47e8ae6cddbd2cf55f3 upstream.
+
+With virtual machines like qemu, it's pretty common to see "too much
+work for irq4" messages nowadays. This happens when a bunch of output
+is printed on the emulated serial console. This is caused by too low
+PASS_LIMIT. When ISR loops more than the limit, it spits the message.
+
+I've been using a kernel with doubled the limit and I couldn't see no
+problems. Maybe it's time to get rid of the message now?
