thanks Rene! I've added your patch to x86.git. I changed a few things
ontop of it, see the additional changelog and delta patch below.
Ingo
------------>
- 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 'standard' and 'alternate' to 0x80 and 0xed
- make the io delay config not depend on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL

- Make inb_p/outb_p use udelay() based delays by default. Please note

- the normal outb based delay does meaning this could cause drivers
