dbee8a0aff x86: remove 32-bit versions of readq()/writeq()
The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the
64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver
(and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in
<http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>).  To fix this,
revert 2c5643b1c5 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and
follow-on cleanups.

This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and
write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the
definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>.  However as discussed
exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right
way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore
belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure
no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).

Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

3a78f96532 ACPI, APEI, Fix APEI related table size checking
On Huang Ying's machine:

erst_tab->header_length == sizeof(struct acpi_table_einj)

but Yinghai reported that on his machine,

erst_tab->header_length == sizeof(struct acpi_table_einj) -
sizeof(struct acpi_table_header)

To make erst table size checking code works on all systems, both
testing are treated as PASS.

Same situation applies to einj_tab->header_length, so corresponding
table size checking is changed in similar way too.

v2:

- Treat both table size as valid

6e320ec1d9 ACPI, APEI, EINJ injection parameters support
Some hardware error injection needs parameters, for example, it is
useful to specify memory address and memory address mask for memory
errors.

Some BIOSes allow parameters to be specified via an unpublished
extension. This patch adds support to it. The parameters will be
ignored on machines without necessary BIOS support.

EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism, this is useful for
debugging and testing of other APEI and RAS features.
