The flash commands and responses are little-endian and have to be
byte swapped on big-endian systems. However the raw read of data
need not be swapped.
Make the cfi_read and cfi_write do the swapping, and provide a
cfi_read_raw which does not byte swap for reading data from
flash.
Rewrite atomic operations for powerpc in order to achieve the following:
- Produce a type-clean implementation (in terms of functions arguments
and returned values) for the primitives.
- Fix errors with _long() atomics where they ended up with the wrong
arguments to be accepted.
- Follow the sys/type.h specifics that define the numbered types starting
from standard C types.
- Let _ptr() version to not auto-magically cast arguments, but leave
the burden on callers, as _ptr() atomic is intended to be used
relatively rarely.
Fix cfi in order to support the latest point.

MFC after: 2 weeks
o add CFI_SUPPORT_STRATAFLASH compile option to enable support
o add new ioctls to get/set the factory and user/oem segments of the PR
and to get/set Protection Lock Register that fuses the user segment
o add #defines for bits in the status register
o update cfi_wait_ready to take an offset so it can be used to wait for
PR write completion and replace constants w/ symbolic names
Note: writing the user segment isn't correct; committing now to get review.

Memory Interface (CFI). The flash memory can be read and written
to through /dev/cfi# and an ioctl() exists so processes can read
the query information.
The driver supports the AMD and Intel command set, though only
the AMD command has been tested.
