Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

I have one regression fix for a minor build problem after the architecture removal series, plus a rework of the barriers in the readl/writel functions, thanks to work by Sinan Kaya: This started from a discussion on the linuxpcc and rdma mailing lists [1]. To summarize, we decided that architectures are responsible to serialize readl() and writel() accesses on a device MMIO space relative to DMA performed by that device. This series provides a pessimistic implementation of that behavior for asm-generic/io.h, which is in turn used by a number of architectures (h8300, microblaze, nios2, openrisc, s390, sparc, um, unicore32, and xtensa). Some of those presumably need no extra barriers, or something weaker than rmb()/wmb(), and they are advised to override the new default for better performance. For inb()/outb(), the same barriers are used, but architectures might want to add another barrier to outb() here if that can guarantee non-posted behavior (some architectures can, others cannot do that). The readl_relaxed()/writel_relaxed() family of functions retains the existing behavior with no extra barriers.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
