Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work. There's no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read() and friends.

There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory" comments lacks appeal.

Documentation: Kill all references to mmiowb()

The guarantees provided by mmiowb() are now provided implicitly by
spin_unlock(), so remove all references to this most confusing of
barriers from our Documentation.

Good riddance.

Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API
manual.

Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work.  There's
no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends.
But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that
do port I/O :).

There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be
live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory"
comments lacks appeal.
