[ARM] 4298/1: fix memory barriers for DMA coherent and SMP platforms

This patch:
- Switches mb/rmb/wmb back to being full-blown DMBs on ARM SMP systems,
  since mb/rmb/wmb are required to order Normal memory accesses as well.
- Enables the use of DMB and ISB on XSC3 (which is an ARMv5TE ISA core
  but conforms to the ARMv6 memory ordering model and supports the
  various ARMv6 barriers.)
- Makes DMA coherent platforms (only ixp23xx at the moment) map
  mb/rmb/wmb to dmb(), as on DMA coherent platforms, DMA consistent
  mappings are done as Normal mappings, which are weakly ordered.
