I haven't heard anything about that, and if we are writing the same value back
it should be pretty safe.

I have heard it asserted that at least one version of the pci spec
only required 32bit accesses to be supported by the hardware.  One of
these days I will have to look that and see if it is true.  I do know
it can be weird for hardware developers to support multiple kinds of
decode.   As I recall for pci and pci-x at the hardware level the only
difference in between 32bit transactions and smaller ones is the state
of the byte-enable lines.
