We only looked at inX()/inY() and readX()/writeX() API because the
semantics of these API are defined in the kernel documentation.
We looked at how to generalize this so that there is a uniform
behavior across different architectures.

Is logic PIO subject to ordering issues?
How is the behavior on different architectures?

As long as the expectations are set, I see no reason why it shouldn't
but, I'll let Arnd comment on it too.
