	The current implementations of __ndelay and __udelay call a hypervisor service to delay, but the hypervisor service isn't actually implemented very well, and the consensus is that Linux should handle figuring this out natively and not use a hypervisor service. By converting nanoseconds to cycles, and then spinning until the cycle counter reaches the desired cycle, we get several benefits: first, we are sensitive to the actual clock speed; second, we use less power by issuing a slow SPR read once every six cycles while we delay; and third, we properly handle the case of an interrupt by exiting at the target time rather than after some number of cycles.

2010-06-04	arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.	Chris Metcalf
	This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips. No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet. This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic; and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
