  To: netdev; +Cc: e1000-devel, Jeff Kirsher

This patch is similar to what was fixed in ixgbe in this patch:

http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=126593062701537&w=3

We should add read memory barriers to all the similar cases across the
Intel ethernet driver family.  In the case of ixgbevf I've also added 
a missing barrier to the clean_tx_irq path because I missed it in my
last patch.

Without the barrier a processor can speculate a load ahead of the load
which looks at the status bit and get stale information causing a
number of different issues including invalid packet length, NULL
pointers, or bad data since checksumming was assumed to be done
in hardware.
