It is clearly stated on "Loongson 3A3000/3B3000 processor user manual vol 2" that "All access requests using a non-cached algorithm are executed in a blocking order. That is, before the current read request data is returned to the processor, all subsequent requests are blocked and issued; All subsequent requests are blocked until the write request data has been sent or the issued write request has not received a write reply from the final receiver." Which means uncached read/write is strongly ordered. So we won't need this workaround. This option was introduced when we add initial support for GS464E, it looks like a misinterpretation of another section in the manual saying we need barriers to ensure MMIO order against DMA requests.
