Having a working udelay() function is required for many
drivers that are sensitive to timing, you should probably
implement that at some point in the future.

This is what I did in the asm-generic#microblaze tree, but I noticed later
that you can simply leave out that file entirely when you set
CONFIG_NO_DMA.

This indicates that you allow DMA to certain devices only in the first
16MB of memory, like an ISA floppy or parallel port. Do you actually have
any devices with this behaviour?
