Venkatesh Srinivas 583cf7be75 e1000: Use dma_wmb() instead of wmb() before doorbell writes
e1000 writes to doorbells to post transmit descriptors and fill the
receive ring. After writing descriptors to memory but before
writing to doorbells, use dma_wmb() rather than wmb(). wmb() is more
heavyweight than necessary for a device to see descriptor writes.

On x86, this avoids SFENCEs before doorbell writes in both the
Tx and Rx paths. On ARM, this converts DSB ST -> DMB OSHST.

Tested: 82576EB / x86; QEMU (qemu emulates an 8257x)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
