[RFC PATCH net-next 1/4] arm64: barrier: add DGH macros to control memory accesses merging

[Guangbin Huang]

From: Xiongfeng Wang <wangxiongfeng2@xxxxxxxxxx>

DGH prohibits merging memory accesses with Normal-NC or Device-GRE
attributes before the hint instruction with any memory accesses
appearing after the hint instruction. Provide macros to expose it to the
arch code.
