> From previous patch description: "to improve performance on PPC64,
> use light weight sync instruction instead of sync instruction."
> 
> 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.
