DELAY is a kernel function.  In user processes, just use sleep() or
nanosleep().  When you directly #include <machine/*> headers from
userland, the only useable things are structure definitions and macro
constants (and even then it's recommended that you use a userland
interface instead).  You can't call any of the functions.
