BTW, talking of maintenance, would a series of __raw_writel() with
Mark's recent patch for offset addressing generate similar code? I.e.:

		__raw_writel(from[0], to);
		__raw_writel(from[1], to + 1);
		...
		__raw_writel(from[7], to + 7);

(you may have mentioned it in previous threads, I did not check)
