Missing memory barriers #122

@talex5

Description

@talex5

All the memory barriers in the vchan source have been commented out. e.g.

(*; Xenctrl.xen_mb ()*)

The log message (0375089) from 2014 says:

The memory barriers are in the xenctrl module at the moment which
seems the wrong place. Additionally, x86 is strongly ordered, so
comment them out for now until we can get the mb operations into a
library elsewhere.

If this library only works reliably on x86, we should probably document that somewhere.
