It's safe to use the relaxed version. From another side, the relaxed io
accessor macros are available on all architectures now, so we can use
the relaxed versions to get a trivial system performance improvement,
we measured time the following functions spent on Marvell BG4CT:

__apbt_read_clocksource():

before the patch: 1263240ns on average
after the patch: 1250080ns on average
improved by 1%

apbt_eoi():

before the patch: 1290960ns on average
after the patch: 1248240ns on average

apbt_next_event():

before the patch: 3333660ns on average
after the patch: 1322040ns on average

improved by 60%!
