Based on the boot messages, estimation of PCI clock frequency by the
driver is about 20 MHz. Is it correct ?
If it is not, then DELAY() may well be very inaccurate on this Alpha
machine.

(The code used to measure the PCI clock frequency had been written by
Stefan Esser for both Linux and FreeBSD ncr drivers. This code was
initially only used to measure the SCSI clock frequency of 875 chips
(given the SCSI clock frequency value, presence of clock doubler can be
guessed). Btw, this code has proven to be as accurate as DELAY() allows).
