[PATCH v4 3/5] x86: tweak the comment about use of wmb for IO
From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Date: Wed Jan 27 2016 - 10:10:45 EST
On x86, we *do* still use the non-nop rmb/wmb for IO barriers, but even
that is generally questionable.
Leave them around as historial unless somebody can point to a case where
they care about the performance, but tweak the comment so people
don't think they are strictly required in all cases.
