[RFC PATCH 0/5] powerpc: make iowrite32be etc. inline

From: Rasmus Villemoes

When trying to make the QUICC Engine drivers compile on arm, I
mechanically (with coccinelle) changed out_be32() to iowrite32be()
etc. Christophe pointed out [1][2] that that would pessimize the
powerpc SOCs since the IO accesses now incur a function call
overhead. He asked that I try to make those io accessors inline on
ppc, and this is the best I could come up with.

At first I tried something that wouldn't need to touch anything
outside arch/powerpc/, but I ended up with conditional inclusion of
asm-generic headers and/or duplicating a lot of their contents.

The diffstat may become a little better if kernel/iomap.c can indeed
be removed (due to !CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PIO &&
CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_MMIO never happening).

Rasmus Villemoes (5):
asm-generic: move pcu_iounmap from iomap.h to pci_iomap.h
asm-generic: employ "ifndef foo; define foo foo" idiom in iomap.h
powerpc: move pci_iounmap() from iomap.c to pci-common.c
powerpc: make pcibios_vaddr_is_ioport() static
powerpc: make iowrite32 and friends static inline when no indirection
