It is very unusual for an architecture to not need special handling in asm/io.h,
to do the proper barriers etc.

Can you describe how C-Sky hardware implements MMIO?

In particular:

- Is a read from uncached memory always serialized with DMA, and with
  other CPUs doing MMIO access to a different address?

- How does endianess work? Are there any buses that flip bytes around
  when running big-endian, or do you always do that in software?
