Hello all. I'm not a subscriber, cause I don't normally much around with
kernel code, so if you need to reply to me, please CC my email address
(icy_manipulator@mindless.com).

I tried to compile the new 2.4.0 prerelease and it fails
when trying to link vmlinux, complaining that the symbol __bad_udelay
is undefined in the text section of aty_set_pll18818 in drivers/video/atyfb.o. 
Upon some simplistic inspection, it seems the culprit is line 1757, which
calls udelay(50000). In <asm/delay.h> (included by <linux/delay.h>),
__bad_udelay is used if the argument to udelay is > 20000, <linux/delay.h>
also mentions that one shouldn't use more than 5 milliseconds for udelay,
preferring mdelay in this case. Well, those 2 numbers don't seem to correspond,
but rather than futz with the definitions of udelay and mdelay (which I really
have no clue about), I changed line 1757 in atyfb.c to call mdelay instead
of udelay, and the patch for this follows this text. Perhaps that's not the
best solution, I'll let you guys decide that, but it lets me compile and link
the kernel image. Haven't tried actually loading it yet (have to do some work
to justify my paycheck first :).
