I wouldn't bother polishing something that's unused since it can't be
tested, it's easy to resurrect from the history if/when it becomes
necessary, and it makes it much harder to connect the commit log with
the code change.  But this isn't a drivers/pci change, so I'm fine
with it since Vinod acked it.

I guess the point is that when !CONFIG_64BIT, there was no writeq() so
we used SET_LL_32 twice.  linux/io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h provides that
writeq() implementation, so we can define and use SET_LL_64 for that
case.
