Given both Dave [1] and Jason's feedback, we have to ask PowerPC developers
to fix writel_relaxed().
Otherwise, PowerPC won't be able to take advantage of the optimizations
introduced in this series.
I don't think we need writel_really_relaxed() API.
Somebody also has to take a task and work very hard to get rid of __raw_writeX()
APIs in drivers/net directory. It looked like a very common practice though
it clearly violates multiarch portability concerns Jason and Deve highlighted.
This will be the next version:
