bc96dccc69 Fix final bugs in memory barriers on PowerPC:
- Use isync/lwsync unconditionally for acquire/release. Use of isync
  guarantees a complete memory barrier, which is important for serialization
  of bus space accesses with mutexes on multi-processor systems.
- Go back to using sync as the I/O memory barrier, which solves the same
  problem as above with respect to mutex release using lwsync, while not
  penalizing non-I/O operations like a return to sync on the atomic release
  operations would.
- Place an acquisition barrier around thread lock acquisition in
  cpu_switchin().

de63b4d2d5 Switch the default I/O memory barrier to eieio, as it should be. This
does not appear to cause any problems due to fixes elsewhere.

13d47f302f Replace eieio; sync for creating bus-space memory barriers with sync.
sync performs a strict superset of the functions of eieio, so using both
is redundant. While here, expand bus barriers to all bus_space operations,
since many drivers do not correctly use bus_space_barrier().

In principle, we can also replace sync just with eieio, for a significant
performance increase, but it remains to be seen whether any poorly-written
drivers currently depend on the side effects of sync to properly function.

ef0e1c230f Provide 64-bit big endian bus space operations for PowerPC. They are required
for the upcoming sec(4) driver.
