You cannot rely on __raw_readl() to do the right thing, especially
in architecture independent code. The safe (but slightly inefficient)
solution would be readl/writel. For ARM-only code, it would be best
to use readl_relaxed()/writel_relaxed(), but most architectures do
not implement that. We can probably add a set of helpers in asm-generic/
to define them to the default functions, like "#define readl_relaxed(x)
readl(x)", which I think is a good idea anyway.
