    Pull mmiowb removal from Will Deacon:
     "Remove Mysterious Macro Intended to Obscure Weird Behaviours (mmiowb())
    
      Remove mmiowb() from the kernel memory barrier API and instead, for
      architectures that need it, hide the barrier inside spin_unlock() when
      MMIO has been performed inside the critical section.
    
      The only relatively recent changes have been addressing review
      comments on the documentation, which is in a much better shape thanks
      to the efforts of Ben and Ingo.
    
      I was initially planning to split this into two pull requests so that
      you could run the coccinelle script yourself, however it's been plain
      sailing in linux-next so I've just included the whole lot here to keep
      things simple"
