Russell, Thanks for your comments. Yes, reverting is OK. The writel's are doing the controller write after the barrier so even though it'll be a little slower, it will be correct. Regarding the "unnecessary" pre-invalidate, yeah, I misspoke. I meant unnecessary POST-invalidates for non-speculative cpus. I just checked and it looks like someone's already put a "FIXME" in the current 2.6.37 source for those. We'll look into how much gains we can expect from the relaxed I/O calls and decide where to go from there. Thanks for pointing out the api.
