Subject: [PATCH] vhost: add support for mandatory barriers
vhost always uses SMP-conditional barriers, but these may not be
sufficient when vhost is used to communicate between heterogeneous
processors in an AMP configuration, especially since they're NOPs on
!SMP builds.
To solve this, use the virtio_*() barrier functions and ask them for
non-weak barriers if requested by userspace.
