It appears to be undocumented and uncommented hence it's not an API
_at all_, is it?

What's __raw_writeq() supposed to do, anyway? On alpha it's writeq()
without an mb(). On parisc it's writeq() only the data is byte-reversed.
On sparc64() it's incomprehensible. On everything else it's writeq().

What a crock.
