__memcpy_{to,from}io fall back to byte-at-a-time copying if both the
source and destination pointers are not 8-byte aligned. Since one of the
pointers always points at normal memory, this is unnecessary and
detrimental to performance, so only do byte copying until we hit an 8-byte
boundary for the device pointer.
This change was motivated by performance issues in the pstore driver.
On a test platform, measuring probe time for pstore, console buffer
size of 1/4MB and pmsg of 1/2MB, was in the 90-107ms region. Change
managed to reduce it to 10-25ms, an improvement in boot time.

Optimize memcpy_{from,to}io() and memset_io() by transferring in 64 bit
as much as possible with minimized barrier usage. This simplest
optimization brings faster throughput compare to current byte-by-byte read
and write with barrier in the loop. Code's skeleton is taken from the
powerpc.

This patch adds several definitions for device communication, including
I/O accessors and ioremap(). The __raw_* accessors are implemented as
inline asm to avoid compiler generation of post-indexed accesses (less
efficient to emulate in a virtualised environment).
