arm: io.h: Fix io accessors for KVM

commit 2e2c2a5e72a8 ("arm: qemu: override flash accessors to use virtualizable instructions")
explains why we can't have instructions with multiple output registers
when running under QEMU + KVM and the instruction leads to an exception
to the hypervisor.

USB XHCI is such a case (MMIO) where a ldr w1, [x0], #4 is emitted for
xhci_start() which works fine with QEMU but crashes for QEMU + KVM.

These instructions cannot be emulated by KVM as they do not produce
syndrome information data that KVM can use to infer the destination
register, the faulting address, whether it was a load or store, or
if it's a 32 or 64 bit general-purpose register.
As a result an external abort is injected from QEMU, via ext_dabt_pending
to KVM and we end up throwing an exception that looks like

 Resetting CPU ...

There are two problems making this the default.
- It will emit ldr + add or str + add instead of ldr/str(post increment)
  in somne cases
- Some platforms that depend on TPL/SPL grow in size enough so that the
  binary doesn't fit anymore.

So let's add proper I/O accessors add a Kconfig option
to turn it off by default apart from our QEMU builds.
