I'm not sure what semantics are desirable for ARM here, so I'll wait for
Russell to reply.

This wrapping will basically mean that the fb_read/write ops are using
__raw_xxx variants while the memset and memcpy wrappers will be using the
regular read/write[bwl] routines which contain __iormb() calls. Given
that ioread/write and friends all wrap in to the normal versions with the
barriers, I would suppose that this is the default behaviour that is
desired, as opposed to wrapping in to the __raw_xxx variants directly.
