[PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_UNORDERED_IO

Browse source 
It was a failed experiment - all benchmarks done with it on both AMD
and Intel showed it was a loss. That was probably because the store
buffers of the CPUs for write combining traffic weren't large enough.

Use unordered stores to access IO memory mappings in device drivers.
Still very experimental. When a driver works on IA64/ppc64/pa-risc it should
work with this option, but it makes the drivers behave differently
from i386. Requires that the driver writer used memory barriers
properly.
