There are very few legitimate use cases, if any, for directly accessing
system RAM through /dev/mem. So let's mimic what they do on x86 and
forbid it when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is turned on.

The ioread/iowrite accessors also need barriers as they're used in
place of readl/writel et.al. in portable drivers. Create __iormb()
and __iowmb() which are conditionally defined to be barriers dependent
on ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE, and always use these macros in the accessors.

When the coherent DMA buffers are mapped as Normal Non-cacheable
(ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE enabled), buffer accesses are no longer ordered
with Device memory accesses causing failures in device drivers that do
not use the mandatory memory barriers before starting a DMA transfer.
LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be
added to the I/O accessors:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250
This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to
handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the
processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer
command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced
after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a
DMA transfer ready bit.

This patch introduces readl*_relaxed()/write*_relaxed() as the main I/O
accessors (when __mem_pci is defined). The standard read*()/write*()
macros are now based on the relaxed accessors.
This patch is in preparation for a subsequent patch which adds barriers
to the I/O accessors.

This allows the procfs vmallocinfo file to show who created the ioremap
regions. Note: __builtin_return_address(0) doesn't do what's expected
if its used in an inline function, so we leave __arm_ioremap callers
in such places alone.

As Al did for Versatile in 2ad4f86b60,
add a typesafe __io implementation for platforms to use. Convert
platforms to use this new simple typesafe implementation.

As of the previous commit, MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 encodes to the same
PTE bit encoding as MT_DEVICE, so it's now redundant. Convert
MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 to use MT_DEVICE instead, and remove its aliases.

This patch provides an ARM implementation of ioremap_wc().
We use different page table attributes depending on which CPU we
are running on:
- Non-XScale ARMv5 and earlier systems: The ARMv5 ARM documents four
possible mapping types (CB=00/01/10/11). We can't use any of the
cached memory types (CB=10/11), since that breaks coherency with
peripheral devices. Both CB=00 and CB=01 are suitable for _wc, and
CB=01 (Uncached/Buffered) allows the hardware more freedom than
CB=00, so we'll use that.
(The ARMv5 ARM seems to suggest that CB=01 is allowed to delay stores
but isn't allowed to merge them, but there is no other mapping type
we can use that allows the hardware to delay and merge stores, so
we'll go with CB=01.)
- XScale v1/v2 (ARMv5): same as the ARMv5 case above, with the slight
difference that on these platforms, CB=01 actually _does_ allow
merging stores. (If you want noncoalescing bufferable behavior
on Xscale v1/v2, you need to use XCB=101.)
- Xscale v3 (ARMv5) and ARMv6+: on these systems, we use TEXCB=00100
mappings (Inner/Outer Uncacheable in xsc3 parlance, Uncached Normal
in ARMv6 parlance).
The ARMv6 ARM explicitly says that any accesses to Normal memory can
be merged, which makes Normal memory more suitable for _wc mappings
than Device or Strongly Ordered memory, as the latter two mapping
types are guaranteed to maintain transaction number, size and order.
We use the Uncached variety of Normal mappings for the same reason
that we can't use C=1 mappings on ARMv5.
The xsc3 Architecture Specification documents TEXCB=00100 as being
Uncacheable and allowing coalescing of writes, which is also just
what we need.
