The e500 core generates an illegal instruction exception when it tries
to execute the lwsync instruction, which we currently use for rmb().
This fixes it by using the LWSYNC macro, which turns into a plain sync
on 32-bit machines.

For some reason we have two prototypes for xmon_init(), remove the
one in system.h.

No one calls xmon() anymore, debugger() is preferable, so we don't
need the prototype. And similarly no one calls xmon_printf().

Also update the include guards on xmon.h to match the standard
format, add copyright and license, and add comments to #endifs.

Built for pseries_defconfig and pmac32_defconfig.

<content type='text'>
There are two problems in the powerpc gettimeofday code which can
cause incorrect results to be returned.

The first is that there is a race between do_gettimeofday and the
timer interrupt:

1. do_gettimeofday does get_tb()

2. decrementer exception on boot cpu which runs timer_recalc_offset,
   which also samples the timebase and updates the do_gtod structure
   with a greater timebase value.

3. do_gettimeofday calls __do_gettimeofday, which leads to the
   negative result from tb_val - temp_varp-&gt;tb_orig_stamp.

The second is caused by taking the boot cpu offline, which can cause
the value of tb_last_jiffy to be increased past the currently
available timebase, causing the same underflow as above.

[paulus@samba.org - define and use data_barrier() instead of mb().]

<title>[PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removal</title>

set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
code more and has no benefit.  Since it is not currently used in the
kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.

All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead.  But this is
still moot since it is not used anyway.

Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled
tested)
