+Subject: [PATCH] common.py: allow specifying number of attempts in exec_cmd
+
+Some commands executed by exec_cmd may fail because of a temporary
+cause, and it may be desirable to retry the same command several times
+until it succeeds. One example of this are the ipmitool commands, which
+may fail temorarily on some targets if they get too many requests
+simultaneously.
+
+In this patch three new optional parameters are introduced to the
+function signature, which do not break backward compatibility:
+  attempts: which indicates how many times the command should be run if
+            it returns a non-zero value*, and defaults to 1 (as today).
+  delay:    which indicates the delay in seconds between attempts, and
+            defaults to 5 seconds.
+  verbose:  It will print the remaining attempts left for the current
+            command if set to True.
+
+* It may be desirable to add yet another parameter to indicate what
+  return value should be considered an error, but non-zero for now
+  seems a reasonable default.
