I think maybe it might be better to use units of microseconds and then
change sleep to usleep so the units are clear?  This is a spinlock, so
it should be quick.

For the other patch in this series, milliseconds seems fine, but if we
change the trace info to use "msleep" instead that would be clearer
--- or you could change it to use microseconds as well just for
consistency; I think either would be fine.

What do you think?
