This fixes the problem in these use cases, but leaves the door open.

Would it be better to change the __arch_putb macro into an extern inline function
instead which would catch these and future cases?

Yes, but you'll need to do that on a much larger scale. Is anyone up for doing 
it ?

I don't follow that. I found only three (identical) definitions in arm, sparc and sh. In
those three cases __raw_writeb were also (identical) macro 'aliases' for __arch_putb.

I guess you are referring to the testing required for all the boards in those three
arches, or even just arm, with changes to all the (get|set)(b|w|l) cases? Maybe I
see your point now...

Oh if it's only three arches then that's fine.

What exactly are the advantages, and what the disadvantages?

code size / memory footprint?

I assume converting those to inline function will yield no memory usage growth 
at all.

Please don't assume, measure it.  Thanks.

Will do ... though I'd prefer to have this patch and the other one separate.
