Except when you stop to think that delaying in a tasklet is exactly
the same as randomly delaying in an interrupt handler - the tasklet
runs on the return path back to the parent context of an interrupt
handler.  Even if you sleep in the tasklet, you're sleeping on behalf
of the currently executing thread - if it's a RT thread, you effectively
destroy the RT-ness of the thread.  Let's hope no one cares about RT
performance on that hardware...
