I have been getting a steady stream of wait_read timeouts on my 2010 MBP. After playing around with various values of APPLESMC_MAX_WAIT a value of 0x10000 reduces the wait_read failures to zero under most normal workloads - with and without AC power plugged in, at idle and and at make -j4 loads. While there I noticed we don't really need to udelay before first inb() - so I moved it down to after first and subsequent failures. Been running this for couple days without any issues.
