This has nothing to do with arm64. Hardware with this kind of indirect
bus access could be integrated with a variety of CPU architectures. It
simply hasn't been, yet.

As above, this has nothing to do with arm64, and as such, should live in
generic code, exactly as we would do if we had higher-level ISA
accessor ops.
Regardless, given the multi-instance case, I don't think this is
sufficient in general (and I think we need higher-level ISA accessors
to handle the indirection).

This doesn't match the file naming, __ASM_EXTIO_H would be consistent
with other arm64 headers.

Please put whitespace before inline comments.

So all PCI I/O will be slowed down by irrelevant checks when this is
enabled?

Why WRITE_ONCE()?
Is this not protected/propagated by some synchronisation mechanism?
WRITE_ONCE() is not sufficient to ensure that this is consistently
observed by readers, and regardless, I don't see READ_ONCE() anywhere in
this patch.
This looks very suspicious.
Thanks,
