    arch: Cleanup read_barrier_depends() and comments · 8a449718
    Alexander Duyck authored
    This patch is meant to cleanup the handling of read_barrier_depends and
    smp_read_barrier_depends.  In multiple spots in the kernel headers
    read_barrier_depends is defined as "do {} while (0)", however we then go
    into the SMP vs non-SMP sections and have the SMP version reference
    read_barrier_depends, and the non-SMP define it as yet another empty
    do/while.
    
    With this commit I went through and cleaned out the duplicate definitions
    and reduced the number of definitions down to 2 per header.  In addition I
    moved the 50 line comments for the macro from the x86 and mips headers that
    defined it as an empty do/while to those that were actually defining the
    macro, alpha and blackfin.
