Generic kernels feed many operation through the "machvec" logic to get
the correct form of the operation for the current system. "mmiowb()" is
one of those operations.
Although machvec is initialized very early in boot, it isn't early
enough for a recent upstream kernel change that added mmiowb to the
spin_unlock() path.
Statically initialize the mmiowb field of machvec so that we won't die
with a call through a NULL pointer. This should be safe because we do
the real initialization of machvec before bringing up any addtional CPUs
or doing any I/O.

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.
