Previously every write to SMP regisers are followed by nudge_writes, this incures a huge performance penalty because nudge_writes involves SYNC, which will be globalized on chip. Only set off nudge_writes when we really want other cores to see the result ASAP. Also replace read/write functions to relaxed version because we don't need extra barriers to protect against DMA.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
