Having looked it up in the ARM ARM, I think we're fine.  Device and
strongly ordered accesses are both ordered as one group, so can be
thought of as the same.  The only difference is that Device can
complete from the CPU's perspective before it hits the peripheral,
whereas strongly ordered only completes once it's hit the peripheral.

So this looks like exactly the right thing to do here.
