Not quite -- there are multiple kinds of flushing. You're thinking about flushing across PCI bridges, which is correct, but you also have CPU write posting and CPU write ordering and such.

Without taking all that into account, you might be tempted to think that __raw_readl() will perform all flushes necessary following a __raw_writel() -- but that would be incorrect.
