how to delay() in xxinit()?

[Chip Rosenthal]

Under SCO XENIX, xxinit() driver routines are not allowed to call delay().
Unfortunately, the FAS serial driver wants this.  I've kludged around the
problem in the interim, but would like to stick in a better solution.
Is timeout() usable in xxinit() routines?  If not, is there a way of
getting access to the tick counter?  Or are ticks being counted at all
at this stage of the boot?
