Not yet. I had a patch in which each read/write used a
spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore. Did not cause to much latency.
I intend to rebase my changes using your patch later today.

Your patch only works if all cores fit in the window. This is the case
for the current pci-based broadcom chipsets so the patch is fine. I will
let you know the results. I also intend to do some suspend/resume
testing. I believe there was some issue mentioned on wireless mailing
list with bcma/b43.
