[PATCH] cdrom: set default timeout to 7 seconds
It's a known fact that Windows times out commands after 7 seconds, so drives generally try and respond if they can before that happens. We default to 5 seconds, which sometimes is a bit too short. Jeremy Higdon reported here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/1/145 that his drive takes longer than 5 seconds for a "read track information" command, later confirming that it is about 6.7 seconds. So just do the sane thing and change the default command timeout to 7 seconds to avoid other surprises.
