We have other drivers already doing this.

I tried a few years ago to make this generic, because NIU could
benefit from it as well, but I couldn't figure out a clean enough
way to abstract this.

Therefore it is absolutely reasonable to continue to let drivers
do this locally until we actually have a reasonable solution.

The gains are definitely significant for chips that lack real TSO
hardware, I absolutely do not require "proof" of this, it is clearly
evident to anyone who considers the issue.
