It is clearly stated on "Loongson 3A3000/3B3000 processor user manual vol 2" that "All access requests using a non-cached algorithm are executed in a blocking order. That is, before the current read request data is returned to the processor, all subsequent requests are blocked and issued; All subsequent requests are blocked until the write request data has been sent or the issued write request has not received a write reply from the final receiver." Which means uncached read/write is strongly ordered. So we won't need this workaround. This option was introduced when we add initial support for GS464E, it looks like a misinterpretation of another section in the manual saying we need barriers to ensure MMIO order against DMA requests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
