By default we still use port 0x80. Any udelay is non-default and needs the user to explicitly switch to it. But it enables us to debug any suspected drivers by asking testers to: "please try this driver with io_delay=udelay, does it still work fine?". So those extra options are quite sensible. If you have any real technical arguments against that then please let us know.
