The model is to cheack if readq/writeq are defined, and if not to
include the one of io-64-nonatomic-hi-lo.h or io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h.
The reason for that is that hardware is supposed to be able to deal with
two 32-bit writes, but it depends on the hardware if the lower or upper
half is what commits the write.

The only 32-bit platform that claims support for readq/writeq is sh,
and I have doubts if that actually works as expected.
