The DPDK driver only has to deal with the case of running on PCI
and with SMP. In this case, the code can use the weaker barriers
instead of using hard (fence) barriers. This will help performance.
The rationale is explained in Linux kernel virtio_ring.h.
To make it clearer that this is a virtio thing and not some generic
barrier, prefix the barrier calls with virtio_.
Add missing (and needed) barrier between updating ring data
structure and notifying host.
