Add a wrapper for fsleep(), flexible sleep functions in
include/linux/delay.h which typically deals with hardware delays.
The kernel supports several sleep functions to handle various lengths
of delay. This adds fsleep(), automatically chooses the best sleep
method based on a duration.
sleep functions including fsleep() belongs to TIMERS, not
TIMEKEEPING. They are maintained separately. rust/kernel/time.rs is an
abstraction for TIMEKEEPING. To make Rust abstractions match the C
side, add rust/kernel/time/delay.rs for this wrapper.
fsleep() can only be used in a nonatomic context. This requirement is
not checked by these abstractions, but it is intended that klint [1]
or a similar tool will be used to check it in the future.

Did you try that with std::cmp::Ord you derived on Delta? This `.contains` looks a bit weird, maybe it also works with `delta <= MAX_DELTA`?

Do you mean using either if or match?
