Ping?
This cleanup is part 1/2 to make flashrom work with clang and unbreak
the delay calculation.
If the new style code is OK, I'll submit part 2/2 which makes heavy use
of the new style code to get timing accuracy of +-10% even in case of
CPU speed variations. Considering that the current code relies on the
dumbness of the optimizer in the C compiler and still manages to make
all delays twice as long as intended, I hope we can get the fixed code
in before 0.9.2.
