Remove custom arm64 MMIO accessors read{b,w,l,q} and their relaxed

one set of IO barriers (ar/bw version) used by asm-generic code to
override the arm64 specific variants.

However, I'd like to see a few subsequent patches that get rid of the
__io*mb() uses in drivers/ (there don't seem to be that many).


Sure, I will do these in next version of this series. Hoping to get reviews on other patches
as well so I can include all the changes in the next version.

Thanks,
