The architectures supported by this driver have expensive
implementations of writel(), reliant on spin locks and explicit L2 cache
management. These architectures provide a cheaper writel_relaxed() which
is much better suited to peripherals that do not perform DMA. The
situation with readl()/readl_relaxed()is similar although less acute.

This driver does not use DMA and will be more power efficient and more
robust (due to absense of spin locks during console I/O) if it uses the
relaxed variants.

This driver is cross compilable for testing purposes and remains
compilable on all architectures by falling back to writel() when
writel_relaxed() does not exist. We also include explicit compiler
barriers. There are redundant on ARM and SH but important on
x86 because it defines "relaxed" differently.
