Merge tag 'asm-generic' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic

Pull asm-generic fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
 "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"
