This looks correct, but I would change one detail:

The default __io_par() is defined in terms of __io_ar(), so it would
be more logical
to remove the custom __io_par() and just define __io_ar() here.

I think it would be even better to flip these around and make the low-level
definitions __io_ar() and __io_bw(), and then defining the arm64 specific
macros based on those:

/* arm64-specific, don't use in portable drivers */
#define __iormb(v)     __io_ar(v)
#define __iowmb()      __io_bw()
#define __iomb()        dma_mb()
