[PATCH] EDAC: atomic scrub operations

EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically.  That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters.  That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP

This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.

It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included
before types.h as this now causes an error as atomic_scrub uses u32.
