cmm: provide lightweight smp_rmb/smp_wmb on PPC

lwsync orders loads in cacheable memory with respect to other loads,
and stores in cacheable memory with respect to other stores.  Use it
to implement smp_rmb/smp_wmb.

The heavy-weight sync is still used for the "full" rmb/wmb operations,
as well as for smp_mb.

[ Edit by Mathieu Desnoyers: rephrased the comments around the memory
  barriers. ]
