So instead of playing games with an ancient delay, I'd suggest we
install the 10 msec INIT assertion wait as a platform quirk instead,
and activate it for all CPUs/systems that we think might need it, with
a sufficiently robust and future-proof quirk cutoff condition.

New systems won't have the quirk active and thus won't have to have
this delay configurable either.

Thanks,

Ingo
