That would have been me cheerfully deleting stuff because it didn't build on powerpc.

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().
