READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.
However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.
It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
step, this patch converts the DVB ringbuffer code and comments to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

Drop the FSF's postal address from the source code files that typically
contain mostly the license text. Of the 628 removed instances, 578 are
outdated.
The patch has been created with the following command without manual edits:
git grep -l "675 Mass Ave\|59 Temple Place\|51 Franklin St" -- \
drivers/media/ include/media|while read i; do i=$i perl -e '
open(F,"< $ENV{i}");
$a=join("", <F>);
$a =~ s/[ \t]*\*\n.*You should.*\n.*along with.*\n.*(\n.*USA.*$)?\n//m
&& $a =~ s/(^.*)Or, (point your browser to) /$1To obtain the license, $2\n$1/m;
close(F);
open(F, "> $ENV{i}");
print F $a;
close(F);'; done

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:
PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*<asm/uaccess.h>'
sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include <linux/uaccess.h>!" \
$(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)
to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Implement memory barriers according to Documentation/circular-buffers.txt:
- use smp_store_release() to update ringbuffer read/write pointers
- use smp_load_acquire() to load write pointer on reader side
- use ACCESS_ONCE() to load read pointer on writer side
This fixes data stream corruptions observed e.g. on an ARM Cortex-A9
quad core system with different types (PCI, USB) of DVB tuners.

Sparse is complaining about ngene's bad usage of a __user ptr:
>> drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: sparse: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: expected unsigned char const [usertype] *buf
drivers/media/pci/ngene/ngene-dvb.c:62:48: got char const [noderef] <asn:1>*buf
As this is intercepting a .write() file ops, we can't just memcpy. We need to use
copy_from_user.

just like the V4L2 core, move the DVB core to drivers/media, as the
intention is to get rid of both "video" and "dvb" directories.
