Really?  This seems really odd.  Usually we just don't build the code
for any platform that doesn't have readq/writeq.  Otherwise, shouldn't
those arches just include this file themselves to keep everything
working?  Individual drivers shouldn't have to do this.

So, I'm not going to take this one just yet, sorry.
