From: Todd Poynor <toddpoynor@xxxxxxxxxx>
Some explicit memory barriers in the page table code are not necessary,
either because:
(a) The barrier follows a non-relaxed MMIO access that already performs
a read or write memory barrier.
(b) The barrier follows DMA API calls for which the device-visible
effects of IOMMU programming are guaranteed to be flushed to the IOMMU
prior to the call returning, and doesn't need to sync with normal memory
access.
