What is the byte order requirement on this buffer? If this is a byte string
rather than individual registers, you should probably just use
memcpy_toio(), but if these are separate registers, then using the
__raw_* accessors is still wrong, at least on kernels that have a
different byteorder from the hardware.

Also, are you sure that adding those six extra barriers has no
performance impact?
