The use of smp_rmb() and smp_wmb() creates a Linux header dependency
on barrier.h that is unnecessary in most parts. This patch implements
the two small defines that are needed from barrier.h. As a bonus, the
new implementations are faster than the default ones as they default
to sfence and lfence for x86, while we only need a compiler barrier in
our case. Just as it is when the same ring access code is compiled in
the kernel.

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.
