Ok PCI posting. 

When you write to a PCI device the write or writes can be queued or bursted
together providing you dont do a read. Order is preserved so a read from PCI
space flushes writes first (you'll see some drivers do

        writel
        readl
        delay
        writel

For PCI delays - that is why.

Speculative reads arent a worry - it means the controller can read data
in any order it likes.  We write all the data then link it in then write
to the control register so all is happy
