This should remain in DEBUG level.

Seems this structure will never be used due to the #if 0.

What is the purpose of this SW_EMULATION?

Is this better to have the rte_compiler_barrier() instead of the rte_io_wmb()?

Should this patch be included before the upstream re-work?

It does not help to read an RFC with embed code blocks not even compiled.
