Subject: [PATCH] typhoon: fix incorrect use of smp_wmb()

The typhoon driver was incorrectly using smp_wmb() to order memory
accesses against IO to the NIC in a few instances. Use wmb() instead,
which is required to actually order between memory types.

This is against Linus's tree, which doesn't appear to have net-next in
it yet. It should apply with offsets, though. I can redo against
net-next if needed, but likely won't have quick access to that tree
until the weekend.
