We should be able to do ndelay(some_u64), but that can cause a call to
__divdi3() to be emitted because the ndelay() macros does a divide.
Fix it by switching to static inline which will force the u64 arg to be
treated as an unsigned long. udelay() takes an unsigned long arg.

On partitioned PPC64 systems where a partition is given 1/10 of a
processor, we have seen mdelay() delaying for 10 times longer than it
should. The reason is that the generic mdelay(n) does n delays of 1
millisecond each. However, with 1/10 of a processor, we only get a
one-millisecond timeslice every 10ms. Thus each 1 millisecond delay
loop ends up taking 10ms elapsed time.
The solution is just to use the PPC64 udelay function, which uses the
timebase to ensure that the delay is based on elapsed time rather than
how much processing time the partition has been given. (Yes, the
generic mdelay uses the PPC64 udelay, but the problem is that the
start time gets reset every millisecond, and each time it gets reset
we lose another 9ms.)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
