In case VIRTIO_F_ORDER_PLATFORM(36) is not negotiated, then the frontend
and backend are assumed to be implemented in software, that is they can
run on identical CPUs in an SMP configuration.
Thus a weak form of memory barriers like rte_smp_r/wmb, other than
rte_cio_r/wmb, is sufficient for this case(vq->hw->weak_barriers == 1)
and yields better performance.
For the above case, this patch helps yielding even better performance
by replacing the two-way barriers with C11 one-way barriers for avail
index in split ring.
