  io: change writeX_relaxed() to remove barriers (2018-04-10 16:37:34 +0200)

asm-generic fixes for v4.17-rc1

I have one regression fix for a minor build problem after the architecture
removal series, plus a rework of the barriers in the readl/writel
functions, thanks to work by Sinan Kaya:

This started from a discussion on the linuxpcc and rdma mailing lists
[1]. To summarize, we decided that architectures are responsible to
serialize readl() and writel() accesses on a device MMIO space relative
to DMA performed by that device.

This series provides a pessimistic implementation of that behavior for
asm-generic/io.h, which is in turn used by a number of architectures
(h8300, microblaze, nios2, openrisc, s390, sparc, um, unicore32, and
xtensa). Some of those presumably need no extra barriers, or something
weaker than rmb()/wmb(), and they are advised to override the new default
for better performance.

For inb()/outb(), the same barriers are used, but architectures might
want to add another barrier to outb() here if that can guarantee
non-posted behavior (some architectures can, others cannot do that).

The readl_relaxed()/writel_relaxed() family of functions retains the
existing behavior with no extra barriers.
