I don't think so; in particular I don't *think* non-x86 architectures
will deal with the requirement that it handles an unaligned source.  As
such, the #if would still be necessary; the #else clause could be
replaced with a get_unaligned() ... iowrite32() loop.

The other thing to watch out for is that "len" passed to iowrite32_rep()
is a count of 32-bit words, whereas memcpy_toio() takes a byte count...
you need to >> 2 there.
