Yes, that is possible too - it fixes the real time clock hang for me.



From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

The patch 92d7223a74235054f2aa7227d207d9c57f84dca0 ("alpha: io: reorder
barriers to guarantee writeX() and iowriteX() ordering #2") broke boot on
the Alpha Avanti platform.

The patch changes timing between accesses to the ISA bus, in particular,
it reduces the time between "write" access and a subsequent "read" access.

This causes lock-up when accessing the real time clock and serial ports.

This patch fixes the real time clock by adding a small delay to the inb_p,
inw_p and inl_p macros.
