While looking at paravirt cleanups I stumbled over slow_down_io() and
the related REALLY_SLOW_IO define.

Do several cleanups, resulting in a deletion of REALLY_SLOW_IO and the
io_delay() paravirt function hook.

Patch 4 is removing the config options for selecting the default delay
mechanism and sets the default to "no delay". This is in preparation of
removing the io_delay() functionality completely, as suggested by Ingo
Molnar.

Patch 5 is adding an additional config option allowing to avoid
building io_delay.c (default is still to build it).

Changes in V2:
- patches 2 and 3 of V1 have been applied
- new patches 4 and 5

Juergen Gross (5):
  x86/paravirt: Replace io_delay() hook with a bool
  block/floppy: Don't use REALLY_SLOW_IO for delays
  x86/io: Remove REALLY_SLOW_IO handling
  x86/io_delay: Switch io_delay() default mechanism to "none"
  x86/io_delay: Add config option for controlling build of io_delay.

The io_delay() paravirt hook is in no way performance critical and all
users setting it to a different function than native_io_delay() are
using an empty function as replacement.

This enables to replace the hook with a bool indicating whether
native_io_delay() should be called.

Instead of defining REALLY_SLOW_IO before including io.h, add the
required additional calls of native_io_delay() to the related functions
in arch/x86/include/asm/floppy.h.

This will remove the last place where REALLY_SLOW_IO is being defined.

The habit to delay some port operations via io_delay() is probably a
no longer needed relict from i386 times.

Switch the default to no longer do delays for port operations. In case
this is breaking some still supported hardware, the default can still
be overwritten via boot parameter.

Remove the Kconfig options to select the default io_delay() mechanism.
This makes io_delay_init() a nop, so it can be removed together with
dmi_io_delay_0xed_port() and the associatedr
io_delay_0xed_port_dmi_table().
