Yeah, readx_poll_timeout_atomic is a mouthful, and then one also has to
put in the name of the accessor... I'll wrap it when I respin the
series, thanks.

Maybe. That's for the ppc folks to comment on; the iopoll.h helpers are
not completely equivalent (because obviously they don't read tbl
directly). Maybe the generic versions should be taught
spin_begin/spin_end/spin_cpu_relax so at least that part would be
drop-in replacement.
