similar to: [PATCH] virtio_ring: sparse warning fixup

virtio_store_mb was built with split ring in mind so it accepts __virtio16 arguments. Packed ring uses __le16 values, so sparse complains. It's just a store with some barriers so let's convert it to a macro, we don't loose too much type safety by doing that. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

We need a full barrier after writing out event index, using smp_store_mb there seems better than open-coding. As usual, we need a wrapper to account for strong barriers/non smp. It's tempting to use this in vhost as well, for that, we'll need a variant of smp_store_mb that works on __user pointers. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

virtio is using barriers to order memory accesses, thus dma_wmb/rmb is a good match.

Changes since v1: - replaced my asm-generic patch with an equivalent patch already in tip - add wrappers with virt_ prefix for better code annotation, as suggested by David Miller - dropped XXX in patch names as this makes vger choke, Cc all relevant mailing lists on all patches (not personal email, as the list becomes too long then) I parked this in vhost tree for now, but the
