Makes sense, will do this.

So __iormb on arm64 has some dummy control dependency stuff as well based on
("arm64: io: Ensure calls to delay routines are ordered against prior
readX()") and then we would
need to change __iormb definition to __io_ar which doesn't seem like
__iormb definition to be exact
right?
