__iowmb() isn't available on most architectures. Make
its use optional so that the driver can be built on
other architectures with COMPILE_TEST=y.

As the memory barrier is an important part there, would it be better to
ifdef based on COMPILE_TEST, to make it clear why it's being done?

I can do that if you prefer.

I suppose the real question is why iowrite64() doesn't work
if a hand rolled version does work?

If I recall right, there is (was?) no iowrite64. The bus is 32 bit anyway. But the two 32 bit registers written with the tilcdc_write64() have an annoying HW race, so we tried to find a method of writing them that reduces the chance of race to a minimum.
