Redefine `mmiowb' in terms of `iobarrier_w' so that it works correctly for MIPS I platforms, which have no SYNC machine instruction and use a call to `wbflush' instead. This doesn't change the semantics for CONFIG_CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON, because `iobarrier_w' expands to `wmb', which is ultimately the same as the current arrangement. For MIPS I platforms this not only makes any code that would happen to use `mmiowb' build and run, but it actually enforces the ordering required as well, as `iobarrier_w' has it already covered with the use of `wmb'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
