libnvdimm/nvdimm/flush: Allow architecture to override the flush barrier
Architectures like ppc64 provide persistent memory specific barriers that will ensure that all stores for which the modifications are written to persistent storage by preceding dcbfps and dcbstps instructions have updated persistent storage before any data access or data transfer caused by subsequent instructions is initiated. This is in addition to the ordering done by wmb() Update nvdimm core such that architecture can use barriers other than wmb to ensure all previous writes are architecturally visible for the platform buffer flush.
