memory ordering model allows writes to different devices to complete out
of order, leading to a situation where the write that clears an interrupt
source at a device can complete after a write that unmasks and EOIs the
interrupt at the interrupt controller, leading to a spurious re-interrupt.
This adds a generic barrier function specific to the needs of interrupt
controllers, and calls that function from the GIC and TI AINTC controllers.
There may still be other soc-specific controllers that need to make the call.

to check the status property in their probe routines.
Simplebus used to only instantiate its children whose status="okay"
but that was improper behavior, fixed in r261352. Now that it doesn't
check anymore and probes all its children; the children all have to
do the check because really only the children know how to properly
interpret their status property strings.
Right now all existing drivers only understand "okay" versus something-
that's-not-okay, so they all use the new ofw_bus_status_okay() helper.
