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).

Add xlate and unxlate around /dev/mem read/write. This sets up the mapping
that can be used for /dev/mem read and write without aliasing worries.

Make ioremap_change_attr() non-static and use prot_val in place of ioremap_mode.
This interface is used in subsequent PAT patches.
