[PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_UNORDERED_IO

It was a failed experiment - all benchmarks done with it on both AMD
and Intel showed it was a loss. That was probably because the store
buffers of the CPUs for write combining traffic weren't large enough.

-	 work with this option, but it makes the drivers behave differently
