No, I like it. Thanks.
But I still want to know why mdelay can not be used. is it not available for all archs or something else?

I tried boot_delay=100 and boot_delay=200 without lpj set, The result was really slow. It was better with lpj copied from dmesg, but was still slower then mdelay.
I think we can firstly use preset lpj, after delay calibrating just use the system lpj
