[PATCH v3 0/2] libibverbs memory barrier fixes

[root]

This series implements ARM64 memory barrier support, and fails compiles
if there is no platform implementation of the memory barriers.

Changes since V3:

white noise fix

parens around asm macros (checkpatch recommendation)

remove RFC tag

Changes since V2:

Implement the mb* macros from scratch

Retested changes on ARM64

[PATCH 1/2] libibverbs: add ARM64 memory barrier macros

[Steve Wise]

The default generic barriers are not correct for ARM64. This results
in data corruption.  The correct macros are based on the ARM Compiler
Toolchain Assembler Reference documenation.

[PATCH 2/2] Fail compiles if no platform specific memory barriers exist

[Steve Wise]

Currently there is a "generic" implementation for the memory barrier
macros in arch.h.  These turned out to be insuffient for ARM64 causing
memory corruption problems when doing RDMA operations.  So going forward,
fail a compile on a platform w/o platform-specific memory barrier macros.
