There is no leading or trailing barrier with the ARM64 
memcpy_{to,from}io routines which is why this was carried forward as-is.

There is an implicit barrier with the iowrite32() in the tx_prepare(), 
so I suppose we are somewhat safe on that part. Likewise with the 
fetch_response()/fetch_notification() we have an implicit barrier within 
the ioread32() and then there is a data dependency since we ought to be 
consuming the response/notification.

For ARM 32-bit the implementation uses readb()/writeb() which does 
include barriers.

The macro might be a tad too much given that we only support one width, 
in case we needed to add a specific size in the future we could use a 
macro again I suppose, for now, just inlined the implementation for the 
4-byte / 32-bit size.

I don't think we can silence the volatile ones, checkpatch --strict did 
not complain about the typedefs in my case, what did it look like in yours?
