This patch comes as a result of Sinan Kaya's work and the decision that
writel() must be a strong enough barrier for DMA.
wmb usages in qedr driver have either been removed where they were there
only to order DMA accesses, and replaced with smp_wmb and comments for the
places that the barrier was there for SMP reasons.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
