virtio is using barriers to order memory accesses, thus
dma_wmb/rmb is a good match.
Build-tested on x86: Before
[mst@tuck linux]$ size drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o
text data bss dec hex filename
11392 820 0 12212 2fb4 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o
After
mst@tuck linux]$ size drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o
text data bss dec hex filename
11284 820 0 12104 2f48 drivers/virtio/virtio_ring.o

It's good in theory, but could one of RPMSG maintainers please review
and ack this patch? Or even better test it?
All these barriers are useless on Intel anyway ...
