Sorry, what I meant was the literal name of these macros, i.e.,
__iormb() has more explicit naming as
IO read memory barrier and __io_ar() is IO after read? So doesn't it
make more sense that __iormb()
should be the primary definition which is already the case and ar/bw
should be based on them.

My reasoning was that we should ideally only have one set, and that
__io_ar()/__io_bw() are the ones used in architecture-independent code,
so I'd rather use those and deprecate the arm64 specific ones, eventually
moving all the arm64 specific code to use those directly where needed.
