blacklist mei_me?

[hw <hw@adminart.net>]

Hi,

this module causes delays when booting and I'm finding this in dmesg:


[   14.889003] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: hw_reset failed ret = -62
[   20.009003] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: hw_reset failed ret = -62
[   25.129003] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: hw_reset failed ret = -62
[   25.129315] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: reached maximal consecutive resets:

[   25.129797] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset failed ret = -19
[   25.130086] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: link layer initialization failed.
[   25.130431] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: init hw failure.
[   25.130745] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: initialization failed.


Should I just blacklist it or is that a bad idea?  Apparently whatever it is for
gets disabled anyway and it doesn't seem to be a disadvantage other than causing
delays.
