[PATCH] Introduce __iowrite32_copy
This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region, using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style of access is required by some devices. This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.
