Actually Michael is right. The implementation is correct on x86,
though wrong anywhere else (perhaps s390?). On those architectures
you do not need rmb() and wmb().
Are we sure? Nothing prevents the guest from using weakly-ordered

Although in that case the guest is probably required to issue an SFENCE.
