drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_comms.c uses full memory barriers to communicate with the other side. For guests compiled with CONFIG_SMP, smp_wmb and smp_mb would be sufficient, so mb() and wmb() here are only needed if a non-SMP guest runs on an SMP host. Switch to virt_xxx barriers which serve this exact purpose. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
