 * Please note that ndelay(), udelay() and mdelay() may return early for
 * several reasons:
 *  1. computed loops_per_jiffy too low (due to the time taken to
 *     execute the timer interrupt.)
 *  2. cache behaviour affecting the time it takes to execute the
 *     loop function.
 *  3. CPU clock rate changes.

/*
 * Using udelay() for intervals greater than a few milliseconds can
 * risk overflow for high loops_per_jiffy (high bogomips) machines. The
 * mdelay() provides a wrapper to prevent this.  For delays greater
 * than MAX_UDELAY_MS milliseconds, the wrapper is used.  Architecture
 * specific values can be defined in asm-???/delay.h as an override.
 * The 2nd mdelay() definition ensures GCC will optimize away the 
 * while loop for the common cases where n <= MAX_UDELAY_MS  --  Paul G.
