I already thought the 16-bit swap might be related to the 16-bit SMC
configuration. SMC will fetch each u32 word in 2 different 16-bit banks
of SDRAM.

In a meanwhile I tried dw_dmac using iowrite32be/ioread32be, and it worked
equally well! Which isn't surprising because for AVR32 they were defined as:

#define iowrite32be(v,p)    __raw_writel(v, p)
#define ioread32be(p)        ((unsigned int)__raw_readl(p))

The 'relaxed' versions won't work because:

#define readl_relaxed            readl

The object code confirms what was expected:

    u32 val = ioread32be (((unsigned*)0x100)); /* Same as __raw_readl */
    ld.w  r8,pc[256]

    iowrite32be (val, ((unsigned*)0x104)); /* same as __raw_writel */
    st.w  pc[260],r8

    val = readl (((unsigned*)0x108)); /* __raw_readl + swahb32 */
    ld.w  r8,pc[264]
    lsl   r9,r8,0x10  /* 16-bit swap */
    or    r9,r9,r8>>0x10

    writel (val, ((unsigned*)0x10C)); /* swahb32 + __raw_writel */
    lsl   r8,r9,0x10  /* 16-bit swap */
    or    r8,r8,r9>>0x10
    st.w  pc[268],r8
