Given that this construct is introduced several times, I wonder if we
want something like:

        static inline void early_usleep_range(unsigned long min, unsigned long 
max)
        {
                if (system_state < SYSTEM_RUNNING)
                        udelay(min);
                else
                        usleep_range(min, max);
        }

Best regards
Uwe
