or ndelay() in arch/um/include/asm/delay.y can be removed completely
and then the default implementation of ndelay() will be used from
include/linux/delay.h.
This builds cleanly, but I don't know how well it would work.

Allow uml to use the default implementation of ndelay() from
<linux/delay.h>.  Fixes build error:

net/built-in.o: In function `spin':
pktgen.c:(.text+0x27391): undefined reference to `__unimplemented_ndelay'
