__bad_udelay is a compile time check that constant udelays do not exceed 
a certain threshold. For x86_64 it used to be n > 20000, now it is n / 
20000 >= 1. The problem is in 
drivers/staging/gma500/psb_intel_display.c:psb_init_wait_for_vblank, 
which does udelay(20000) which under the old code would have been fine, 
but fails the new __bad_udelay check.

Possibly the udelay can just be converted to an mdelay?
