Sorry for missing that. IIRC, we didn't conclude as <2 2 1> did fail
on continuous reboot test over night on my setup. As I mentioned early 
we can change to this new value if people are able to use it reliably.

It's hard to get any kind of attention from hardware guys for such an
old platform.

Even with higher latency if the platform is unusable, I agree to remove.
If you think it's usable with the updated latency(<2 2 1>) then we can
update it.
