Except as I pointed out before, Altix doesn't conform to the norm and
many (most?) drivers are missing mmiowb()s that are needed for Altix.
Just no one has plugged most devices into an Altix (or haven't stressed
the driver in a way that exposes problems of IO ordering between CPUs).

It would be a great thing to use the powerpc trick of setting a flag
that is tested by spin_unlock()/mutex_unlock() and automatically doing
the mmiowb() if needed, and then killing off mmiowb() entirely.
