I forgot to mention that all MMIO are ordered vs. each other and I
do prevent readl from passing earlier cacheable stores too in my
current implementation but I'n not 100% we want to "guarantee" that,
unless we have stupid devices that trigger DMA's on reads with side
effects.. anyway, it is guaranteed in the current case.
