Subject[PATCH] io: prevent compiler reordering on the default writeX() implementation
Date
The default implementation of mapping writeX() to __raw_writeX() is wrong.
writeX() has stronger ordering semantics. Compiler is allowed to reorder
__raw_writeX().

In the abscence of a write barrier or when using a strongly ordered
architecture, writeX() should at least have a compiler barrier in
it to prevent commpiler from clobbering the execution order.
