Subject: [PATCH 12/14] [VOYAGER] x86/Voyager: replace inline io area reads with readX accessors

Some of the memory manipulations done to reset QIC CPIs and to check
on booted processors rely on the read actually being issued.  With
newer versions of gcc this is no longer happening (presumably it sees
the read with no effect and optimises it away).  Replace the reads
with readX to assure volatile semantics for issuing the access.  This
fixes a bug where QIC based voyagers won't boot with certain versions
of gcc.
