What I was saying is that iowrite32be is broken for other reasons, as it
is only defined for PCI and ISA devices and you should _not_ use it, 
even if it solves the endianess problem.

What you should use is out_be32().

It's a standard function, is was added less than two years ago.
You should really consider upgrading to a recent kernel version for
a number of reasons, but they are all unrelated to your current problem ;-)
