The patch below seems to fix it. Please review/apply.

8<----
Subject: ARM64: make smp_load_acquire() work with const arguments

smp_load_acquire() uses typeof() to declare a local variable for temporarily
storing the output of the memory access. This fails when the argument is
constant, because the assembler complains about using a constant register
as output:

 arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h:71:3: error: read-only variable '___p1' used as 'asm' output

This changes the implementation to use an 'unsigned long' for the temporary value
and only cast it to the original type in the end.
