No, most definitely not. Having the user select udelay or none through
the kernel config and then the kernel deciding "ah, you know what,
I'll know better and use port access anyway" is _utterly_ broken
behaviour. Software needs to listen to its master.
When acting as an ordinary user, the .config is beyond my control
(except on Gentoo). It is in control of the distro (Fedora, Ubuntu,
... but perhaps not Gentoo). I think the distro guys want a default
behavior that is set in .config, with quirk overrides being done when
needed. And of course the user in his/her boot params gets the final say.
