On ARM, it is necessary to use the _relaxed versions of read[bl] and
write[bl] to ensure we do the correct endianness conversion when running in
big endian.
Keep using avr32 __raw version on avr32 to avoid breakage.

The whole point of i/o accessors is to encapsulate arch-specific
differences, so one of these arches isn't doing it right, or the wrong
i/o accessors are being used.
I'm not an avr32 specialist but I think __raw accessors are doing big
endian accesses but _relaxed accessors are doing litlle endian accesses.

Maybe Hans can clarify what's needed here.
