well, if you carefully look at the code it's not the "same" but a
similar but cleaner thing - it moves this quirk out of a common include
file. I take back the "simpler" characterisation - my patch indeed ended
up being almost the same as David's.

yep, i have updated the delay to 2 usecs. The latest patch is below, as
queued up in x86.git. (not yet queued up for .24 - it's pending testing
and more feedback, etc.)

Subject: x86: fix in_p/out_p crashes
From: David P. Reed <dpreed@...d.com>
Do not use port 0x80, it can cause crashes, see:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6307
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9511
Replace use of outb to "unused" diagnostic port 0x80 for time delay
with udelay based time delay on x86_64 architecture machines. Fix for
bugs 9511 and 6307 in bugzilla, plus bugs reported in
bugzilla.redhat.com.
Derived from suggestion (that didn't compile) by Pavel Machek, and
tested, also based on measurements of typical timings of out's
collated by Rene Herman from many in the community.
This patch fixes a number of bugs known to cause problems on HP
Pavilion dv9000z and dv6000z laptops - in the form of solid freezes
when hwclock is used to show or set the time. Also, it potentially
improves bus utilization on SMP machines, by using a waiting process
that doesn't tie up the ISA/LPC bus for 1 or 2 microseconds.
[ mingo@...e.hu: minor restructuring, 32-bit support. ]
