Use asm-generic/io.h definitions where applicable.
The inxx() and outxx() methods whcih was duplicated in pcic.c +
leon_pci.c are replaced by a set of static inlins from asm-generic/io.h

iomap.c is replaced by the generic versions, but are still
present to support sparc64.

<title>Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS</title>

<content type='text'>
The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.

To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.

Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.

While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

<title>sparc64: Niagara-4 bzero/memset, plus use MRU stores in page copy.</title>

<content type='text'>
This adds optimized memset/bzero/page-clear routines for Niagara-4.

We basically can do what powerpc has been able to do for a decade (via
the "dcbz" instruction), which is use cache line clearing stores for
bzero and memsets with a 'c' argument of zero.

As long as we make the cache initializing store to each 32-byte
subblock of the L2 cache line, it works.

As with other Niagara-4 optimized routines, the key is to make sure to
avoid any usage of the %asi register, as reads and writes to it cost
at least 50 cycles.

For the user clear cases, we don't use these new routines, we use the
Niagara-1 variants instead.  Those have to use %asi in an unavoidable
way.

A Niagara-4 8K page clear costs just under 600 cycles.

Add definitions of the MRU variants of the cache initializing store
ASIs.  By default, cache initializing stores install the line as Least
Recently Used.  If we know we're going to use the data immediately
(which is true for page copies and clears) we can use the Most
Recently Used variant, to decrease the likelyhood of the lines being
evicted before they get used.

Linus removed the end-of-address-space hackery from
fs/namei.c:do_getname() so we really have to validate these edge
conditions and cannot cheat any more (as x86 used to as well).

Move to a common C implementation like x86 did.  And if both
src and dst are sufficiently aligned we'll do word at a time
copies and checks as well.

For the explicit calls to .udiv/.umul in assembler, I made a
mechanical (read as: safe) transformation.  I didn't attempt
to make any simplifications.

In particular, __ndelay and __udelay can be simplified significantly.
Some of the %y reads are unnecessary and these routines have no need
any longer for allocating a register window, they can be leaf
functions.

We always have this instruction available, so no need to use
btfixup for it any more.

This also eradicates the whole of atomic_32.S and thus the
__atomic_begin and __atomic_end symbols completely.
