ACPI, APEI: Add 64-bit read/write support for APEI on i386
Base ACPI (CA) currently does not support atomic 64-bit reads and writes
(acpi_read() and acpi_write() split 64-bit loads/stores into two
32-bit transfers) yet APEI expects 64-bit transfer capability, even
when running on 32-bit systems.
This patch implements 64-bit read and write routines for APEI usage.
This patch re-factors similar functionality introduced in commit
04c25997c97, bringing it into the ACPI subsystem in preparation for
removing ./drivers/acpi/atomicio.[ch]. In the implementation I have
replicated acpi_os_read_memory() and acpi_os_write_memory(), creating
64-bit versions for APEI to utilize, as opposed to something more
elegant. My thinking is that we should attempt to see if we can get
ACPI's CA/OSL changed so that the existing acpi_read() and acpi_write()
interfaces are natively 64-bit capable and then subsequently remove the
replication.
