Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/32: Remove memory clobber asm constraint on dcbX()
 functions

Instead of just telling GCC that dcbz(), dcbi(), dcbf() and dcbst()
clobber memory, tell it what it clobbers:
* dcbz(), dcbi() and dcbf() clobbers one cacheline as output
* dcbf() and dcbst() clobbers one cacheline as input
