Going backwards to the root of the problem: The root device times out

because the PHYSDEVOP_setup_gsi returns -16, EBUSY, and the pvops
kernel doesn't retry; so the gsi is never set up.

Aside from any of the other issues, EBUSY doesn't generally suggest that the caller should try again. That would be EAGAIN.
