Yes they most certainly can be versioned inside of an asm. Use the
"i" constraint, we've been doing this on sparc64 for ages.

Yeah I need to change the __bad_udelay trick. The inline in inline case that
triggers a bad_udelay link wrongly is annoying but apparently not something
the gcc folks guarantee wont happen.

I just tried 2.4.3-ac13 on my laptop, a Toshiba Tecra 8000, which has a
NeoMagic video controller. I boot it using the VESA frame buffer, using the
arguments:
video=vesa:mtrr vga=0x317
for a 16-bit 1024x768 screen. The video doesn't come on at all, but the
machine boots up normally (ie, I can log into it via ssh via the wireless
pcmcia card). If I boot up with the VGA console, the screen is displayed just
fine. This worked in 2.4.3-ac11.
Also, I initially built ac13 with:
make mrproper
make menuconfig
and it doesn't ask whether I want to build the normal USHI USB driver either as
a module or builtin to the kernel, only whether I want to build the alternative
USHI USB dirver (the JE driver). Make xconfig asks whether you want to build
both drivers. I'm not sure whether this was a bug in previous versions or
not.

That's probably because you selected the alternative UHCI driver to
build into the kernel. In that case, the other UHCI driver is not
available as an option anymore. If you select it as a module, then both
will be available.

Ummm, no.
As I said, I first cleaned everything out with mrproper, and then went through
the options in order. Since the alternative UHCI driver does not occur until
after the question for the normal UHCI driver in drivers/usb/Configure.in, it
never asked me the question of building the normal UHCI driver. I just
verified that if I use make xconfig instead of make menuconfig, I will be able
to choose either driver (yes, if you choose one as builtin, it won't allow you
to choose the other, but I'm talking about building them as modules, and the
initial selection after make mrproper is done).

It is an old problem, probably caused by ugly hack in drivers/usb/Config.in
(using a variable before it is defined).
The following patch should fix it in some way...

AFAIR, this means that the driver is using an udelay() with a much too
large argument. Break it up into several shorter ones, or use mdelay().

That isn't necessarily the case. This code can break even with _correct_
arguments to udelay().
This is because despite the number of times this kind of thing has bitten
us, we _still_ haven't learned our lesson w.r.t. depending on specifications
rather than the observed behaviour of this week's compiler with this
particular phase of the moon.
