Given the direction to get rid of wmb() in front of writeX() functions, I have been
reviewing this code. Under normal circumstances, I can get rid of all wmb() as follows.

However, I started having my doubts now. Are these wmb() used as a SMP barrier too?
I can't find any smp_Xmb() in drivers/infiniband/hw/qedr directory.
