x86: various changes and cleanups to in_p/out_p delay details
various changes to the in_p/out_p delay details: - add the io_delay=none method - make each method selectable from the kernel config - simplify the delay code a bit by getting rid of an indirect function call - add the /proc/sys/kernel/io_delay_type sysctl - change 'io_delay=standard|alternate' to io_delay=0x80 and io_delay=0xed - make the io delay config not depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: "David P. Reed" <dpreed@reed.com>

are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

- Make inb_p/outb_p use udelay() based delays by default. Please note
- that udelay() does not have the same bus-level side-effects that
- the normal outb based delay does meaning this could cause drivers
- to change behaviour and/or bugs to surface.
+ No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
+ delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.
