What's 2000?

That's in jiffies, so it's not a fixed amount of time.

But on a typical config that will be 20 _seconds_ ?!

But you haven't set the task state, so AFAIK it will just return
instantly.

And if there's a software/hardware bug and it never stops being busy,
then we have a softlockup. The other option would be print a big fat
warning and just not free the window. But maybe that doesn't work for
other reasons.

Sigh, I still don't like that macro :)

or:
		write_hvwc_reg(window, VREG(WIN_CTX_CACHING_CTL), 1ull << 63);

EAGAIN means "if you do the same thing again it might work".

I don't think that's right here. The window is not in a state where it
can be freed, the caller needs to do something to fix that.

EBUSY would probably be more appropriate.
