Subject: [net-next 05/15] e1000: Use dma_wmb() instead of wmb() before doorbell writes

From: Venkatesh Srinivas <venkateshs@...gle.com>

e1000 writes to doorbells to post transmit descriptors and fill the
receive ring. After writing descriptors to memory but before
writing to doorbells, use dma_wmb() rather than wmb(). wmb() is more
heavyweight than necessary for a device to see descriptor writes.

On x86, this avoids SFENCEs before doorbell writes in both the
Tx and Rx paths. On ARM, this converts DSB ST -> DMB OSHST.

Tested: 82576EB / x86; QEMU (qemu emulates an 8257x)
