Stupid question from the peanut gallery: If you're going to go through
all this, maybe it would be better to define an inline
isa_bus_delay(void) { udelay(2); } and use that instead? I can only
imagine some poor sod coming along later and wondering why there's a
udelay(2) there. OTOH, there is an inb right above it, so <shrug>.
