[PATCH v2 05/20] asm-generic: split off typeconfused readl and friends

The MMIO accessors in barebox like readl have the error prone
peculiarity of accepting integer arguments to pointers automatically,
which makes it easy to confuse address and data.

We will add an alternative less error-prone way for new code, so first
split off the typeconfused code into a separate file.
