    virtio: Replace one cpu_mfence() by cpu_lfence(), and one by cpu_sfence().
    
    * The cpu_mfence() in virtqueue_dequeue() can be replaced by cpu_lfence(),
      since we only need to make sure that we read the vq->vq_ring.used->idx
      value before reading any other entries from the vq->vq_ring.used ring.
    
    * The cpu_mfence() in vq_ring_update_avail() can be replaced by
      cpu_sfence(), since no one else is writing to the vq->vq_ring.avail
      struct.
