[RESEND][PATCH 2.6.27-rc3] x86: fix readb() et al compile error with gcc-3.2.3

[Mikael Pettersson]

Building 2.6.27-rc1 on x86 with gcc-3.2.3 fails with:

In file included from include/asm/dma.h:12,
                 from include/linux/bootmem.h:8,
                 from init/main.c:26:

make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

Starting with 2.6.27-rc1 readb() et al are generated by a
build_mmio_read() macro, which generates asm() statements with
output register constraints like "=" "q", i.e. as two adjacent
string literals. This doesn't work with gcc-3.2.3.

Fixed by moving the "=" part into the callers' reg parameter
(as suggested by Ingo).

Build and boot-tested with gcc-3.2.3 on 32 and 64-bit x86.
