I don't think that any platform currently breaks if you use the
readX/writeX instead of ioreadX/iowriteX on iomapped MMIO addresses
(and there's certainly enough code in libata that does this), but the
API definition really expects that you should be using ioread/iowrite
so it would probably be best not to add any more of these..
