[RFC PATCH 2/2] ARM: mstar: Add header with macros for XIU register access

Registers connected to the CPU via "XIU" (Maybe eXtended Interface
Unit) are 32bits wide with a 64bit stride.

Apparently someone realised that splitting 32bit registers into
two 16bit ones was silly but at the same time didn't want to
fix all of the register offsets used for "RIU" in their code.

This means that any existing driver (i.e. the usb and ethernet)
cannot be used as is and needs to use a special readl()/writel()
to fix up the address of the register that needs to be accessed.

To avoid having this code in every driver add a header with an
implementation of readl()/writel() that patches over the insanity.
