[RFC 1/6] atmel: add atmel_io.h

The AVR32 and ARM (AT91) architectures share a number of drivers which
need to access the on chip peripherals. The current drivers work with
the default endian configuration, however it is possilbe to run some of
the ATMEL ARM architectures in big endian mode.
If we change the drivers from __raw to _relaxed IO accesors then the ARM
side works but the AVR32 will not. The _relaxed assume the bus is little
endian and the __raw are native. The AVR32 is native big endian so these
are not the right functions.
To sort this out, and avoid a number of drivers having #ifdef for the
AVR32 case we add <linux/atmel_io.h> to provide some AT91/AVR32 independant
IO accessor functions.
