To control the memory order for device memory, I think you should use 
rte_io_mb() instead of rte_mb(). This will generate correct result. rte_wmb() 
is used for system memory.

>
> Excerpt from IBM doc [1], section "Memory barrier instructions":
> "The second form of the sync instruction is light-weight sync, or lwsync.
> This form is used to control ordering for storage accesses to system memory
> only. It does not create a memory barrier for accesses to device memory."
>
> This patch removes the use of lwsync, so calls to rte_wmb() and
> rte_rmb() will provide correct memory barrier to ensure order of accesses to
> system memory and device memory.
