please check if you are happy with this one.

[PATCH] x86: Make udelay() and msleep() can be used early

We need to use those functions in early-quirk stage with code that is shared with
later stage.

For x86, normal udelay need to use percpu.loops_per_jiffy
will need to wait per_cpu(cpu_info) is allocated and copied
from boot_cpu_data, after it is in smp_prepare_cpus()
boot_cpu_data.loops_per_jiffy get set in identify_boot_cpu from check_bugs.

Also msleep() will need to wait schedular is ready.

Try to have one early version udelay that use loops_per_jiffy directly.
and early msleep is just early delay.

-v2: use function pointer and keep old udelay() and msleep() API as requested from BenH
