When you posted your list I thought most of the hits were in what I'd
think of 'one-arch drivers', eg an IRQ controller or clock driver or
something.. Some might have a reason for it (eg avoiding the swap, for
instance), maybe it is a hold over from before writel_relaxed, or
maybe it is just a cargo-cult behavior..

It is the obviously multi-arch drivers that probably need some
attention..
