Patch looks correct to me and does address the issue.
A few minor points though:

I would not bother with the #ifdef checks in the structure definition,
but they don't hurt either, and we need the other ones anyway.
Up to you (or the maintainers).

typos: 'i' and 'hop'

The description is also slightly misleading, as it's not the
C standard specifically saying something about 64-bit accesses
on 32-bit targets being non-atomic, it's more that C doesn't
make a guarantee here at all, and the CPU probably can't do
double word accesses.

This change should not be needed here, as simply including the
io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h header gives you a working definition
of readq()/writeq(). Going through the ioread64/iowrite64 type
interfaces instead of the readq/writeq also gives you an extra
indirection that you don't really need. On Arm machines these
are the same, but they are different on parisc or x86 where
ioread multiplexes between PCI port and memory spaces.
