I don't need gma500, so I've just disabled the driver to get around it but
I thought some people might still like to know :)

__bad_udelay is a compile time check that constant udelays do not exceed a certain threshold. For x86_64 it used to be n > 20000, now it is n / 20000 >= 1. The problem is in drivers/staging/gma500/psb_intel_display.c:psb_init_wait_for_vblank, which does udelay(20000) which under the old code would have been fine, but fails the new __bad_udelay check.

Possibly the udelay can just be converted to an mdelay?

Here is the patch:
----
A change to the constraints for the compile time check for __bad_udelay on some architectures caused breakage in the gma500 staging driver. Fix by replacing udelay with mdelay.
