Wonderful!

So, I have seen a recent blow up by kernel bot due to Alpha issues on these
accessors.

Also see below for the further followups.

It's a new place of the duplicating check, can we have a helper for that?

Wouldn't be faster to memdup() / swap / use corresponding IO accessor?

So, two questions here:

1) can we use helpers from include/linux/byteorder/generic.h, such as
   cpu_to_be32_array()/be32_to_cpu_array()?

2) have you considered using memcpy_toio() / memcpy_fromio() and why
   it's not okay to use them?

Single blank line is enough.

Seems like misrebase? I believe this has to be fixed.
