x86 can keep store ordering with standard operations.
Using memory barrier is much expensive in main packet processing loop.
Removing this improves xmit/recv packet performance.
We can see performance improvements with memnic-tester.
Using Xeon E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz, 4 vCPU.

Note: we have to take care if we use non-temporal cache.
