Something like this? (Warning, will not probably even compile on
x86-64, I do not have 64-bit compiler near me).

 static inline void native_io_delay(void)
 {
-	asm volatile("outb %%al,$0x80" : : : "memory");
+	udelay(8);
 }

Alan, did you double-check that 8 us? I tried to but I seem to not have trustworthy documentation.
