At some point I believe I got a comment about using (readl/writel)_relaxed
instead of readl/writel.  So I used these instead.  Has the wind direction
changed?  =)

Using the readl/writel is nice w.r.t. having the implicit barriers, especially
with the funky 1K boundary on reordering of operations that can occur on Kraits.
This can hit you on accesses even within the same IP block.
