[PATCH rdma-next 1/2] arm64/io: add memcpy_toio_64

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg at nvidia.com>

The kernel supports write combining IO memory which is commonly used to
generate 64 byte TLPs in a PCIe environment. On many CPUs this mechanism
is pretty tolerant and a simple C loop will suffice to generate a 64 byte
TLP.

However modern ARM64 CPUs are quite sensitive and a compiler generated
loop is not enough to reliably generate a 64 byte TLP. Especially given
the ARM64 issue that writel() does not codegen anything other than "[xN]"
as the address calculation.

These newer CPUs require an orderly consecutive block of stores to work
reliably. This is best done with four STP integer instructions (perhaps
ST64B in future), or a single ST4 vector instruction.

Provide a new generic function memcpy_toio_64() which should reliably
generate the needed instructions for the architecture, assuming address
alignment. As the usual need for this operation is performance sensitive a
fast inline implementation is preferred.

Implement an optimized version on ARM that is a block of 4 STP
instructions.

The generic implementation is just a simple loop. x86-64 (clang 16)
compiles this into an unrolled loop of 16 movq pairs.
