Ok, so we should look at that first. If the driver supports 32-bit
access, using the regular accessors will also make the transfers
much faster.

Yes, sorry for the typo.

I'd prefer to keep the COMPILE_TEST option, after all it's how
I found the problem. On a related note, what is the ARM dependency
for? Is that just for the _memcpy_toio/_memcpy_fromio? Maybe we
can drop too if we find the right architecture-independent
replacement for those two calls.
