Does anyone remember where __SLOW_DOWN_IO is needed any more?
udelay() makes sense. Modern drivers use small udelays themselves to
confirm to chip specs.
Some ISA drivers appear to use outb_p "just to be on the safe side", no
idea if it's appropriate or not. Some even mix outb and outb_p based on
educated guesses. I know, I've written such code :-)
