[PATCH v2 33/34] xenbus: use virt_xxx barriers

From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Thu Dec 31 2015 - 14:10:53 EST


drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_comms.c uses
full memory barriers to communicate with the other side.

For guests compiled with CONFIG_SMP, smp_wmb and smp_mb
would be sufficient, so mb() and wmb() here are only needed if
a non-SMP guest runs on an SMP host.

Switch to virt_xxx barriers which serve this exact purpose.
