You have a duplicated signoff here.

I'm not entirely sure about the purpose of the #ifdef here, since
nothing ever overrides the double-underscore versions, both before
and after your patches.

Unless I'm missing something here, I think a more logical
sequence would be:

1. add the definitions in this file without the underscores,
   as memcpy_fromio/memcpy_toio/memset_io, with the #ifdef
   for that name that is always set at this point

2. replace the default implementation in asm-generic/io.h
   with extern prototypes, remove the #define from those

3. convert the other architectures, removing both the
   implementations and the prototypes.
