Willy confirmed there is another subtle difference between the
two sets of functions:
__raw_read/writeX relax PCI ordering requirements.
read/writeX enforce PCI Ordering requirements.
Willy correctly ignored this topic since parisc machines are strongly
ordered for IO as well (so far at least).
But I didn't want folks to think byte swapping was the only difference.
Be VERY careful of using __raw_XXX forms outside of parisc specific code.
