My argument has always been that drivers should do the emulation of
64-bit accesses when there is no native support.

IO registers tend to have side effects when read/written. How do we
know whether the low-half or the high-half should be written first?
This isn't something that an architecture can really dictate. What
may be right for one hardware device may not be correct for another.
