Disable write buffering on ToPIC95 if it is left enabled

Attached is a patch that will disable write buffering on the Toshiba ToPIC95 if
it is enabled by somebody (it is not supposed to be a power-on default
according to the datasheet).  On the ToPIC95, practically no 32-bit Cardbus
card will work under heavy load without locking up the whole system if this is
left enabled.  I tried about a dozen.  It does not affect 16-bit cards.  This
is similar to the O2 bugs in early controller revisions it seems.
