Not true, you have udelay(), ndelay(), mdelay(), msleep(), ssleep()
and the *_interruptible() versions...
So you do have functions to delay or sleep in the kernel.
My mistake, kinda missed out on these interfaces. I thought you had to
do it on your own using timers etc, for which these functions provide
a very clean and portable interface.
And if you don't want the kernel to preempt you you can disable
preemption while doing your sleeping... not very well behaved kernel
code, but you can do it...
