Anton Blanchard 63e6c5b810 powerpc: Pair loads and stores in copy_4k_page
A number of our chips like loads and stores to be paired. A small kernel
module testcase shows the improvement of pairing loads and stores in
copy_4k_page:

POWER6: +9%
POWER7: +1.5%

#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/mm.h>

#define ITERATIONS 10000000

static int __init copypage_init(void)
{
	struct timespec before, after;
	unsigned long i;
	struct page *destpage, *srcpage;
	char *dest, *src;

	destpage = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL);
	srcpage = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL);

	dest = page_address(destpage);
	src = page_address(srcpage);

	getnstimeofday(&before);

	for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++)
		copy_4K_page(dest, src);

	getnstimeofday(&after);

	free_page((unsigned long)dest);
	free_page((unsigned long)src);

	printk(KERN_DEBUG "copy_4K_page loop took %lu ns\n",
		(after.tv_sec - before.tv_sec) * NSEC_PER_SEC +
		(after.tv_nsec - before.tv_nsec));

	return 0;
}

static void __exit copypage_exit(void)
{
}
