MIPS: Loongson64: Remove CPU_HAS_WB
Q: Do we have really have write buffer A: Yes, on newer Loongson processors there is a "store fill buffer" that will collect *cached* writes, on all Loongson processors AXI crossbar will buffer all writes. Q: Then why do we want to remove CPU_HAS_WB? A: Because CPU_HAS_WB introduces wbflush, which intends to flush all write reuqests to mmio device. We won't be affected by store fill buffer because it won't buffer uncached writes. And a regular memory barrier is sufficient to flush crossbar write buffer.
