IB/ipath: Lock and always use shadow copies of GPIO register
The new LED blinking interface adds more contention for the unprotected GPIO pins that were already shared, though not commonly at the same time. We add locks to the accesses to these pins so that Read-Modify-Write is now safe. Some of these locks are added at interrupt context, so we shadow the registers which drive and inspect these pins to avoid the mmio read/writes. This mitigates the effects of the locks and hastens us through the interrupt. Add locking and always use shadows for registers controlling GPIO pins (ExtCtrl and GPIOout). The use of shadows implies doing less I/O, which can make I2C operation too fast on some platforms. An explicit udelay(1) in SCL manipulation fixes that.
