[Skiboot] [PATCH v2 3/5] io: Add load_wait() helper

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

This uses the standard form twi/isync pair to ensure a load
is consumed by the core before continuing. This can be necessary
under some circumstances for example when having the following
sequence:

	- Store reg A
	- Load reg A (ensure above store pushed out)
	- delay loop
	- Store reg A

IE, a mandatory delay between 2 stores. In theory the first store
is only guaranteed to rach the device after the load from the same
location has completed. However the processor will start executing
the delay loop without waiting for the return value from the load.

This construct enforces that the delay loop isn't executed until
the load value has been returned.
