Right, that definitely needs to be fixed then - 8MHz is indeed a totally
normal clock rate for SPI so people will hit it.  I guess if there's a
noticable performance hit to defer to thread then we could implement
both and look at how long the delay is going to be to decide which to
use, that's annoyingly complicated though so if the overhead is small
enough we could just not bother.
