This change makes it so that instead of using smp_wmb/rmb which varies
depending on the kernel configuration we can can use dma_wmb/rmb which for
most architectures should be equal to or slightly more strict than
smp_wmb/rmb.

The advantage to this is that these barriers are available to uniprocessor
builds as well so the performance should improve under such a
configuration.
