According to the comment in asm-generic/mmiowb.h, the intention is
to have the mmiowb definition before the #include, though this would
only be necessary if there was an "#ifndef mmiowb" fallback in that
file. If the definition to wmb() works, I'd go for that one and
leave the include order unchanged.
