Here is the logic followed across the driver change:

1) If the top level code is in the pattern like "explicit barrier" and then
io write. Then second the io write operation can be relaxed.
2) If the code runs in slow path, To make patch clean and scope limited,
use only nonrelaxed versions.

Yes. Will be fixed in next revision.
