Add a memory barrier between writing vcpu->requests and reading vcpu->guest_mode to ensure the read is ordered after the write when (potentially) delivering an IRQ to L2 via nested posted interrupt. If the request were to be completed after reading vcpu->mode, it would be possible for the target vCPU to enter the guest without posting the interrupt and without handling the event request. Note, the barrier is only for documentation since atomic operations are serializing on x86.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
