We should be able to ndelay() from any context, even from an
interrupt context! However, this is broken (not functionally,
but locking-wise) in time-travel because we'll get into the
time-travel code and enable interrupts to handle messages on
other time-travel aware subsystems (only virtio for now).
Luckily, I've already reworked the time-travel aware signal
(interrupt) delivery for suspend/resume to have a time travel
handler, which runs directly in the context of the signal and
not from the Linux interrupt.
In order to fix this time-travel issue then, we need to do a
few things:
1) rework the signal handling code to call time-travel handlers
(only) if interrupts are disabled but signals aren't blocked,
instead of marking it only pending there. This is needed to
not deadlock other communication.
2) rework time-travel to not enable interrupts while it's
waiting for a message;
3) rework time-travel to not (just) disable interrupts but
rather block signals at a lower level while it needs them
disabled for communicating with the controller.
Finally, since now we can actually spend even virtual time
in interrupts-disabled sections, the delay warning when we
deliver a time-travel delayed interrupt is no longer valid,
things can (and should) now get delayed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
