Add a mthca_write_db_rec() to wrap writing doorbell records. On 64-bit archs, this is just a 64-bit write, while on 32-bit archs it splits the write into two 32-bit writes with a memory barrier to make sure the two halves of the record are written in the correct order.
+static inline void mthca_write_db_rec(u32 val[2], u32 *db)
+{
+ db[0] = val[0];
+ wmb();
+ db[1] = val[1];
+}

Are you concerned about ordering, or write-combining?
I am unaware of a situation where writes are re-ordered into a reversed, descending order for no apparent reason.
