i dont think this should matter: old systems that truly _need_ the ISA
delay will be slow enough to not trip up. (nor are they really affected
by these early delays - the delays were more for crappy ISA devices that
get initialized later down, when the delay loop is already calibrated)
With the introduction of the shared dirty page accounting in .19, NFS should
not be able to surpise the VM with all dirty pages. Thus it should always be
able to free some memory. Hence no more need for mempools.
