Subject: vxge: improve tx performance by using mmiowb() instead of wmb()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ff1b974cf30b282f90993ab658e59b73c152c0b8;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

vxge: improve tx performance by using mmiowb() instead of wmb()

wmb() is extremely heavy on x86.  The semantics required in the driver are
provided by mmiowb(), so use that and improve tx performance on P4 Xeons by
5-10%.
