Of course, for non-x86, you kind of have to expect drivers to be
well-behaved, so non-x86 can probably avoid this simply because there are
less relevant drivers involved.

Here's a UNTESTED patch for x86 that may or may not compile and work, and
which serializes (on a compiler level) the IO accesses against regular
memory accesses.

__read[bwlq]()/__write[bwlq]() are not serialized with a :"memory"
barrier, although since they still use "asm volatile" I suspect that i
practice they are probably serial too. Did not look very closely at any
generated code (only did a trivial test to see that the code looks
*roughly* correct).
