Ben's right, there shouldn't be any need for this.  This patch could cause 
some unnecessary interrupt service latency.

Ari, are you seeing "Spurious irq XX: XXXXXXXX, please flush posted write 
for irq" messages?  If so, the correct fix for this is to read from the 
device interrupt status register immediately after writing to it.  This 
forces the ARM to wait until the write to the device is complete.  Ari, 
could you make this change to i2c-omap.c:omap_i2c_isr() instead, and test 
whether this fixes the problem?

+ u32 tmp;

...

  omap_i2c_write_reg(dev, OMAP_I2C_STAT_REG, stat);
+ tmp = omap_i2c_read_reg(dev, OMAP_I2C_STAT_REG); /* OCP barrier */
