Pull ACCESS_ONCE cleanup preparation from Christian Borntraeger:
 "kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE

  As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com
  ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar
  accesses.

  Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.

  The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE.  If the data
  structure is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a
  warning is emitted.  The next patches fix up several in-tree users of
  ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar types.

  This does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
  on scalar types.  This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux
  next already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs.
  non-scalar types"

/*
* Prevent the compiler from merging or refetching reads or writes. The
* compiler is also forbidden from reordering successive instances of
* READ_ONCE, ASSIGN_ONCE and ACCESS_ONCE (see below), but only when the
* compiler is aware of some particular ordering. One way to make the
* compiler aware of ordering is to put the two invocations of READ_ONCE,
* ASSIGN_ONCE or ACCESS_ONCE() in different C statements.
*
* In contrast to ACCESS_ONCE these two macros will also work on aggregate
* data types like structs or unions. If the size of the accessed data
* type exceeds the word size of the machine (e.g., 32 bits or 64 bits)
* READ_ONCE() and ASSIGN_ONCE() will fall back to memcpy and print a
* compile-time warning.
*
* Their two major use cases are: (1) Mediating communication between
* process-level code and irq/NMI handlers, all running on the same CPU,
* and (2) Ensuring that the compiler does not fold, spindle, or otherwise
* mutilate accesses that either do not require ordering or that interact
* with an explicit memory barrier or atomic instruction that provides the
* required ordering.
