Hmm, by virtue of its name (and original intent), we are expected to be
in an atomic context and could just do a BUG_ON(!in_atomic()) to catch
misuse. Since the removal of the panic modeset, all callers outside of
intel_uncore.c are definitely abusing this and we would be better to use
a usleep[_range]() variant instead.
