Andy Shevchenko 9683a64fc3 x86/io: Make readq() / writeq() API consistent
Despite the following commit:

  93093d099e ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too, complete")

which says:

  ...Also, map all the APIs to the strongest ordering variant. It's way
  too easy to mess such details up in drivers and the difference between
  "memory" and "" constrained asm() constructs is in the noise range.

... we have for now only one user of this API (i.e. writeq_relaxed() in
drivers/hwtracing/intel_th/sth.c) on x86 and it does care about
"relaxed" part of it.

Moreover 32-bit support has been removed from that header, though appeared
later in specific headers that emphasizes its non-atomic context.

The rest should keep in mind a consistent picture of the __raw_IO() vs. IO()
vs. IO_relaxed() API.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
