  • Introduce __iowrite64_copy. It will be used by the Myri-10G Ethernet
    driver to post requests to the NIC. This driver will be submitted soon.

    __iowrite64_copy copies to I/O memory in units of 64 bits when possible (on
    64 bit architectures). It reverts to __iowrite32_copy on 32 bit
    architectures.

  • This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region,
    using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear
    that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory
    barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style
    of access is required by some devices.

    This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It
    only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for
    oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.
