[ECOS] How to delay based on a non-system counter?

[Grant Edwards <grant dot b dot edwards at gmail dot com>]

Is there a simple way to delay for a number of ticks on a
non-system counter?  What I need is something equivalent to
cyg_thread_delay() where I can specify the counter handle
that's to be used for the delay.

I could create an alarm handle&object, an alarm handler, and a
semaphore, and then set up the alarm handler to signal the
semaphore, schedule and enable the alarm, then block on the
semaphore/flag.  But that seems like a lot of overhead --
especially when the cyg_thread_delay_counter() call needs to be
thread-safe.
