Early alpha processors cannot write a single byte or short; they read 8
bytes, modify the value in registers and write back 8 bytes.
This could cause race condition in the structure dm_io - if the fields
flags and io_count are modified simultaneously.
Fix this bug by using 32-bit flags if we are on Alpha and if we are
compiling for a processor that doesn't have the byte-word-extension.
