Fortunately the use of the "volatile" quantifier in the patch makes sure that this doesn't happen. Both myself and Artyom have tested the patch and it works for both of us, so I'm reasonably confident.
Oh yes of course. I missed that detail. Oops.
The reason that the udelay() implementation is a trivial one is because we need something simple in order to get a working OpenBIOS (and hopefully 1.1 release) into QEMU git master in time for feature freeze on Monday. If anyone else would like to investigate using timers for udelay() on SPARC32/64, I'd be very happy to accept patches from next week onwards.
Makes sense now.
