[RFC PATCH] ARM: GIC: Convert GIC library to use the IO relaxed operations

[santosh.shilimkar@ti.com (Santosh Shilimkar)]

The GIC register accesses today make use of readl()/writel()
which prove to be very expensive when used along with mandatory
barriers. This mandatory barriers also introduces an un-necessary
and expensive l2x0_sync() operation. On Cortex-A9 MP cores, GIC
IO accesses from CPU are direct and doesn't go through L2X0 write
buffer.

Also since a DSB does not guarantee that the device state has
been changed, a read back from the device is introduced wherever
necessary.
