Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/4] arm64: barrier: add DGH macros to control memory accesses merging

From: Xiongfeng Wang <wangxiongfeng2@...wei.com>

DGH prohibits merging memory accesses with Normal-NC or Device-GRE
attributes before the hint instruction with any memory accesses
appearing after the hint instruction. Provide macros to expose it to the
arch code.
