This patchset fixies the race within the poll_wait call and the receive callbacks,
by adding memory barrier.

- 1/2 includes the actual fix
- 2/2 includes optimization for the x86 arch

It is discussed and described in the following discussions:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/18/124
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/25/188
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/29/216

Patchset is made on top of Linus'es tree 5a4f13fad1ab5bd08dea78fc55321e429d83cddf .

Booted on x86_64.

wbr,
jirka
