Why not simply use a value-preserving accessors like readl/writel?
Aren't they value-preserving on all ARM CPUs?

IMHO the CPU/platform code should supply certain accessors (value- and
order-preserving), and the generic code should simply use the correct
one.

Perhaps we should have (for ARM only) another set of register_readl()
etc.? (PCI and register endianness may differ, a separate set would mean
no runtime overhead in such case).
