Thanks for the suggestions! I'll update these in the next patchset.

I was intending to mean usleep_range() will be used when the the delay <=20 ms,
else msleep() will be used. If we drop msleep() altogether as suggested in your
comments below, then I can change this to be: "Switch D3hot delay to use
usleep_range."

I'm not familiar with the reasons behind these two beside what the
documentation states. I don't know what happens when you use usleep_range()
with a delay >20ms.

I'm totally fine with this, but I don't really know what the impact would be to
those old Intel chips.
