I'm guessing alpha has problems

extern inline u32 readl(const volatile void __iomem *addr)
{
        u32 ret = __raw_readl(addr);
        mb();
        return ret;
}
extern inline void writel(u32 b, volatile void __iomem *addr)
{
        __raw_writel(b, addr);
        mb();
}

There is a barrier in writel /after/ the acess but not before.

no PCI, so it might not matter that much -- all drivers
are platform specific in the end.

I'm guessing that some mips platforms have problems, but others don't.
