This change looks good to me, but I think your regular barriers
(mb, rmb, wmb) are still wrong: These are meant to be the superset
of dma_{r,w}mb and smp_{,r,w}mb, and synchronize
against both SMP and DMA interactions.

I suspect you can drop the '.s' for non-SMP builds. What I don't
see is whether you might need to add '.i' for dma_wmb() or
dma_rmb().
