[openib-general] [PATCH][16/26] IB/mthca: mem-free doorbell record writing

Add a mthca_write_db_rec() to wrap writing doorbell records.  On
64-bit archs, this is just a 64-bit write, while on 32-bit archs it
splits the write into two 32-bit writes with a memory barrier to make
sure the two halves of the record are written in the correct order.
