Subject: [PATCHv4 1/4] ARM: Translate delay.S into (mostly) C

We want to allow machines to override the __delay() implementation
at runtime so they can use a timer based __delay() routine. It's
easier to do this using C, so let's write udelay and friends in C.

We lose the #if 0 code, which according to Russell is used "to
make the delay loop more stable and predictable on older CPUs"
(see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/888867 for more
info). We shouldn't be too worried though, since we'll soon add
functionality allowing a machine to set the __delay() loop
themselves, thus allowing machines to resurrect the commented out
code should they need it.

Nico expressed concern that fixed lpj cmdlines will break due to
compiler optimizations. That doesn't seem to be the case since
before and after this patch I get the same lpj value when running
my CPU at 19.2 MHz. That should be sufficiently slow enough to
cover any machine running Linux.

This will break builds when you switch back and forth without this patch.
You need to rm arch/arm/lib/.delay.o.cmd if you ever build a kernel
before this patch after you've built with this patch.
