[PATCHv3 2/4] ARM: Allow machines to override __delay()

[Stephen Boyd]

Some machines want to implement their own __delay() routine based
on fixed rate timers. Expose functionality to set the __delay()
routine at runtime. This should allow two machines with different
__delay() routines to happily co-exist within the same kernel
with minimal overhead.

Russell expressed concern that using a timer based __delay()
would cause problems when an iomapped device isn't mapped in
prior to a delay call being made (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/78543 for
more info). We can sidestep that issue with this approach since
the __delay() routine _should_ only be pointed to a timer based
delay once the timer has been properly mapped. Up until that
point __delay() and udelay() will use delay_loop() which is
always safe to call.

This patch is inspired by x86's delay.c
