Merge tag 'arm64-mmiowb' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

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"
