We don't have safe 64-bit mmio writes as they are really split into
2x32-bit writes. This tearing is dangerous as the hardware *will*
operate on the intermediate value, requiring great care when assigning.
(See, for example, i965_write_fence_reg.) As such we don't currently use
them and strongly advise not to us them. Go one step further and remove
the 64-bit write vfuncs.

I'd update the comment, it's about interpreting the intermediate value
now. And maybe explicitly state that we do not do 64-bit writes.

I glanced over it, the warning about the hw acting upon the intermdiate
value still seemed appropriate (even without us having a WRITE64). All
that it is missing is the extra warning that we do not support writeq via
the vfunc.

/* Be very careful with read/write 64-bit values. On 32-bit machines, they
 * will be implemented using 2 32-bit writes in an arbitrary order with
 * an arbitrary delay between them. This can cause the hardware to
 * act upon the intermediate value, possibly leading to corruption and
 * machine death. For this reason we do not support I915_WRITE64, or
 * dev_priv->uncore.funcs.mmio_writeq.
 *
 * When reading a 64-bit value as two 32-bit values, the delay may cause
 * the two reads to mismatch, e.g. a timestamp overflowing. Also note that
 * occasionally a 64-bit register does not actualy support a full readq
 * and must be read using two 32-bit reads.
 *
 * You have been warned.
