Re: RFC: outb 0x80 in inb_p, outb_p harmful on some modern AMD64 with MCP51 laptops

I mean, we expect 8usec delay -- historical ISA timing -- but when
_PCI_ card with leds is inserted, it is likely to be faster than old
ISA, right?

Yes, i guess switching to udelay at least on newer systems would
be a good idea. I'm not quite sure about systems without TSC though.

This makes things easier for the LEDs, because you have to drive them with 3x the current, or more, for same brightness as steady state, and the 12750Hz higher frequency means a pulse duration of only 78us at this elevated instantaneous power dissipation versus 3.3ms with the 300Hz. ...
