Neil Turton fcfa060468 sfc: Use rmb() to ensure reads occur in order ...

Enabling write-combining may also enable read reordering.  The BIU is
only guaranteed to read from a 128-bit CSR or 64-bit SRAM word when
the host reads from its lowest address; otherwise the BIU may use the
latched value.  Therefore we need to reinstate the read memory
barriers after the first read operation for each CSR or SRAM word.
