[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC] smp_store_mb should use smp_mb

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

On some architectures smp_store_mb() calls mb() which is stronger
than implied by both the name and the documentation.

smp_store_mb is only used by core kernel code at the moment, so
we know no one mis-uses it for an MMIO barrier.
Make it call smp_mb consistently before some arch-specific
code uses it as such by mistake.

Note: I'm guessing an ack from arch maintainers will be needed, but
I'm working on a bigger cleanup moving a bunch of duplicated code
into asm-generic/barrier.h which depends on this, so not Cc'ing
widely yet.

Please Ack if appropriate but do not merge yet.
