Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

Introduce ixp2000_reg_wrb, which is a variant of ixp2000_reg_write
that does a readback from the target register, to make sure that
the write has been flushed out of the write buffer.

Unlike the previous (ineffective) readback in ixp2000_reg_write, this
readback is followed by an instruction that depends on the value of
the readback so that the CPU actually stalls until the readback has
completed.

/*
* On the IXP2400, we can't use XCB=000 due to chip bugs. We use
* XCB=101 instead, but that makes all I/O accesses bufferable. This
* is not a problem in general, but we do have to be slightly more
* careful because I/O writes are no longer automatically flushed out
* of the write buffer.
*
* In cases where we want to make sure that a write has been flushed
* out of the write buffer before we proceed, for example when masking
* a device interrupt before re-enabling IRQs in CPSR, we can use this
* function, ixp2000_reg_wrb, which performs a write, a readback, and
* issues a dummy instruction dependent on the value of the readback
* (mov rX, rX) to make sure that the readback has completed before we
* continue.
