Device registers can be mapped as write-combine type. In this case, data
are not written into the device immediately. They are temporarily stored
in the write combine buffer and written into the device when the buffer
is full. But in some situation, we need to flush the write combine
buffer to device immediately for better performance. So we add a general
function called 'flush_wc_write()'. We use DGH instruction to implement
this function for ARM64.
