Technically, PCIe bridges can reorder writes as well, so we really

PCIe can reorder writes only if they come from different CPUs,
good examples are in "LOCKS VS I/O ACCESSES" in
Documentation/memory-barriers.txt

Good point, I was confusing this and write posting. Don't think we have an issue with write posting here so we should be OK.
