By default, ndelay is implemented in terms of udelay.

That's very much *NOT* the case.

Yes, there is a *fallback* for when somebody doesn't do ndelay() at
all, but that doesn't make it the default.

It's just a "the architecture didn't implement ndelay at all, we'll
work around it".

Yes, sorry, I wrote "default" when I meant "fallback".
(arm32 currently does not define a specific ndelay implementation.)

So stop this idiocy already. About half of what I've seen in this
thread has been pure garbage.

OK, I'll just send my patch, and then crawl back under my rock.
