As discussed on IRC, I think we'd be better off making this a strong-ordered
mapping for all platforms unconditionally. The PCI I/O space semantics
require non-posted writes, which is the main difference between device
and SO mappings, so the same fix is required both for mvebu as a workaround
for the deadlock as well as for everyone else as a fix for an incorrect
PCI behavior.
