[PATCH v2 2/2] io: prevent compiler reordering on the default readX() implementation

[Sinan Kaya]

The default implementation of mapping readX() to __raw_readX() is wrong.
readX() has stronger ordering semantics. Compiler is allowed to reorder
__raw_readX().

In the abscence of a read barrier or when using a strongly ordered
architecture, readX() should at least have a compiler barrier in
it to prevent commpiler from clobbering the execution order.
