Jon, I'm still hoping you'll explain why you're not using udelay() here.

Because Grant didn't want me doing udelay(50) just to delay things in order to give the AC97 controller time to initialize. Your function lets me loop on cpu_relax() for 50us.

I have to delay 50us because ALSA tries to access the hardware immediately after the function returns.
