This change makes it so that instead of using smp_wmb/rmb which varies depending on the kernel configuration we can can use dma_wmb/rmb which for most architectures should be equal to or slightly more strict than smp_wmb/rmb. The advantage to this is that these barriers are available to uniprocessor builds as well so the performance should improve under such a configuration.

/*
|
|
* Barriers in virtio are tricky. Non-SMP virtio guests can't assume
|
|
* they're not on an SMP host system, so they need to assume real
|
|
* barriers. Non-SMP virtio hosts could skip the barriers, but does
|
|
* anyone care?
|
|
*
|
|
* For virtio_pci on SMP, we don't need to order with respect to MMIO
|
|
* accesses through relaxed memory I/O windows, so smp_mb() et al are
|
|
* sufficient.
|
|
*
|
|
* For using virtio to talk to real devices (eg. other heterogeneous
|
|
* CPUs) we do need real barriers. In theory, we could be using both
|
|
* kinds of virtio, so it's a runtime decision, and the branch is
|
|
* actually quite cheap.
