[openib-general] [PATCH 28 of 39] IB/ipath - Fixes a bug where our delay for EEPROM no longer works due to compiler reordering

The mb() prevents the compiler from reordering on this function, with some versions
of gcc and -Os optimization.   The result is random failures in the EEPROM read
without this change.
