I don't know what the 250ms delay is for.  If it is for a required PCI
delay, we should use the relevant standard #define for it, and it
should be in the PCI controller driver.  Otherwise it's impossible to
verify that all the drivers are doing the correct delays.

I don't know what other drivers are using that clock.  Are you
suggesting that it may be used in non-PCI situations where the
required delay might be different?  If another user requires 250ms,
but PCI requires only 100ms, I think it would be worth having separate
delays in each user so PCI wouldn't have to pay that extra 150ms.
