Well, I think you haven't sent me a copy. Anyway, it would be great to
determine where exactly writes need a flush. Adding it everywhere is a
bit suboptimal, one would think.

Can you share some details about the machine you are experiencing the
problems on? CPU, chipset? I'd try to see if I can recreate the problem.

Alternatively, you could investigate yourself - at first you could put
pci_read_config_word() at the end of subroutines (including return
statements) using solo_reg_write(). And in that solo_p2m_dma_desc(),
before wait_for_completion_timeout(). Then eliminate them using some
sort of binary search to see which ones are required.
