First let's make sure that we like it best.
The other alternative is an explicit I/O barrier.
writel(high-water, request-in)
mmiob() /* memory-mapped I/O barrier */
spin_unlock(hostlock)
versus
writel(high-water, request-in)
spin_unlock_iob(hostlock)
I think I like the former better (even though we had the latter in Irix).
But I don't have a strong preference.
One of us will offer a patch.
