Could we not just hang this off the 64-bit atomicity property to match the read path? It doesn't seem like there's much benefit in micro-optimising for whether the interconnect splits 64-bit accesses into 32-bit bursts vs. just not accepting them at all.

lo_hi_writeq() - the header's already included for 32-bit build coverage, so we may as well put it to use :)

Thanks,
Robin.
