ACPI APEI: Convert atomicio routines

APEI needs memory access in interrupt context.  The obvious choice is
acpi_read(), but originally it couldn't be used in interrupt context
because it makes temporary mappings with ioremap().  Therefore, we added
drivers/acpi/atomicio.c, which provides:
    acpi_pre_map_gar()     -- ioremap in process context
	acpi_atomic_read()     -- memory access in interrupt context
	acpi_post_unmap_gar()  -- iounmap

Later we added acpi_os_map_generic_address() (2971852) and enhanced
acpi_read() so it works in interrupt context as long as the address has
been previously mapped (620242a).  Now this sequence:
    acpi_os_map_generic_address()    -- ioremap in process context
    acpi_read()/apei_read()          -- now OK in interrupt context
    acpi_os_unmap_generic_address()
is equivalent to what atomicio.c provides.

This patch introduces apei_read() and apei_write(), which currently are
functional equivalents of acpi_read() and acpi_write().  This is mainly
proactive, to prevent APEI breakages if acpi_read() and acpi_write()
are ever augmented to support the 'bit_offset' field of GAS, as APEI's
__apei_exec_write_register() precludes splitting up functionality
related to 'bit_offset' and APEI's 'mask' (see its
APEI_EXEC_PRESERVE_REGISTER block).

With apei_read() and apei_write() in place, usages of atomicio routines
are converted to apei_read()/apei_write() and existing calls within
osl.c and the CA, based on the re-factoring that was done in an earlier
patch series - http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=128769263327206&w=2:
    acpi_pre_map_gar()     -->  acpi_os_map_generic_address()
    acpi_post_unmap_gar()  -->  acpi_os_unmap_generic_address()
    acpi_atomic_read()     -->  apei_read()
    acpi_atomic_write()    -->  apei_write()

Note that acpi_read() and acpi_write() currently use 'bit_width'
for accessing GARs which seems incorrect.  'bit_width' is the size of
the register, while 'access_width' is the size of the access the
processor must generate on the bus.  The 'access_width' may be larger,
for example, if the hardware only supports 32-bit or 64-bit reads.  I
wanted to minimize any possible impacts with this patch series so I
did *not* change this behavior.
