There is a wrapper in drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_base.h (see below) with
some comment. So this commit changed one of the three points?

static inline void mga_memcpy_toio(vaddr_t va, const void* src, int len) {
#if defined(__alpha__) || defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__)
        /*
         * memcpy_toio works for us if:
         *  (1) Copies data as 32bit quantities, not byte after byte,
         *  (2) Performs LE ordered stores, and
         *  (3) It copes with unaligned source (destination is guaranteed to be page
         *      aligned and length is guaranteed to be multiple of 4).
         */
        memcpy_toio(va.vaddr, src, len);
#else
        u_int32_t __iomem* addr = va.vaddr;

        if ((unsigned long)src & 3) {
                while (len >= 4) {
                        fb_writel(get_unaligned((u32 *)src), addr);
                        addr++;
                        len -= 4;
                        src += 4;
                }
        } else {
                while (len >= 4) {
                        fb_writel(*(u32 *)src, addr);
                        addr++;
                        len -= 4;
                        src += 4;
                }
        }
#endif
}
