Does rtems have a portable, sort-of calibrated time-wastingloop?

Since this routine is BSP dependent, it could end up not being
callable from an ISR but that is not the intent.  It is intended
to be a tight assembly loop or poll a HW counter/timer but should
be callable from an ISR.  The only issue is killing time 
in the ISR.
