I like this one, simple and readable. I was worried about endianness
issues, but that does not apply here as the source and destination
are presumably in byte order.

I have tested this patch with a modified ethtool[1].

For some reason, my PCIe RTL8111E onboard NIC on a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
motherboard reads as FFs when reading from MMIO with a block size
larger than 7. Therefore change to reading blocks of four bytes.
