This patch converts several network drivers to use smp_rmb rather than read_barrier_depends. The initial issue was discovered with ixgbe on a Power machine which resulted in skb list corruption due to fetching a stale skb pointer. More details can be found in the ixgbe patch description.
Changes since v1: - Remove NULLing of tx_buffer->skb in the ixgbe patch
