I want to at least partially revise this part of bus_space(9).  It is, in
fact, the case *right now* that barriers are always implied by bus_space
operations.  This is because for may devices, you would have to do what you
just did; insert barriers everywhere.

What I would like to do is add a __BUS_SPACE_NO_IMPLIED_BARRIERS which
drivers can define which disables the implicit bus_space_barrier() calls
for that source file.  That way a driver could do optimized barriers if
it so chooses.

It would push some complexity into some of the bus.h implementations, but
I don't think it's worth it.
