[dpdk-dev,13/15] eal: introduce rte_smp_*mb() for memory barriers to use between lcores
Commit Message
This commit introduce rte_smp_mb(), rte_smp_wmb() and rte_smp_rmb(), in
order to enable memory barriers between lcores.
The patch does not provide any functional change for IA, the goal is to
have infrastructure for weakly ordered machines like ARM to work on DPDK.
