This patch for ni_mio_common.c changes out a while loop for a timeout,
which is preferred.

All right, I think this guy's ready to go now!  Thanks for all the help!

2: Changed from simple clean-up to swapping a timeout in for a while loop.

3: Removed extra counter variable, and added error checking.

4: No longer using counter variable, using jiffies instead.

5: udelay for 10u, instead of 1u.

I preferred the earlier udelay(1) from your PATCH v4, but I think it's even better to replace it with:

			cpu_relax();

You might also need:

#include <asm/processor.h>

to define cpu_relax().
