For some reason these accessors have been absent from the MIPS kernel,
while some of them can be used to tune the MIPS code execution up (the
default value are fully acceptable though). For instance, in the framework
of MIPS P5600/P6600 (see [1] for details) if we are sure the IO
interconnect doesn't reorder the requests we can freely set
GCR_CONTROL.SYNCDIS, which will make CM2 to respond on SYNCs just
after a request is accepted on the L2/Memory interface instead of
executing the legacy SYNC and waiting for the full response from
L2/Memory. Needless to say that this will significantly speed the
{read,write}X() IO-accessors due to having more lightweight barriers
around the IO Loads and Stores. There are others MIPS Coherency Manager
optimizations available in framework of that register like cache ops
serialization limits, speculative read enable, etc, which can be useful
for the various MIPS platforms.

Folks, do you think it would be better to implement a dedicated config for
arch/mips/kernel/mips-cm.c code, which would disable the SI_SyncTxEn
acceptance by setting the GCR_CONTROL.SYNCDIS bit? Currently I intend to
set it in the out platform-specific prom_init() method.
