I'm not a subscriber to this list, cause I don't usually muck around with
kernel code, so if anyone needs to reply to me, make sure to CC me in.

I was trying to compile the 2.4.0 prerelease with the aty framebuffer,
and the kernel failed to link due to an unresolved symbol in
drivers/video/atyfb.o (__bad_udelay). The problem seems to be that
in <asm/delay.h>, it doesn't allow arguments to udelay greater than=20
20000 (despite the warning in <linux/delay.h> indicating 50000 should be
the max). I patched atyfb.c to use mdelay here instead of udelay (line
1754 or thereabouts), and the kernel compiled and linked. I haven't been
able to reboot yet cause I have to do some work to justify my paycheck :)
FWIW, the tiny patch is included as an attachment.
