No idea.  Removed them all, seems to work fine still.
Guess writel() & friends have the needed barriers on arm?

There is also a tasklet.  And IRQs.  But bcm2835_sdhost_reset_internal
clears hcfg (temporately), so IRQs shouldn't be a problem I think.  So how

When there are no dma channels configured in the device tree.
