Subject: [PATCH 0/1] delay: rename fsleep to usleep_autoyield

I recently stumbled over the relatively new function fsleep(). While I
think it is usful, I also think the name is too short to be
self-explanatory. This is why I suggest a rename before it gets even
wider use in the kernel. Once this rename is upstream, I will convert
the users. The churn is still in the acceptable range with 12 patches
and 70 lines changed IMO.

The name 'usleep_autoyield' is the best I could come up with, but if you
can think of something better I am all ears.

Please let me know what you think!

All the best,

   Wolfram
