[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 03/10] net/virtio: add missing barrier in interrupt enable

Typically, after enabling Rx interrupt, a check should be done
to make sure that there is no new incoming packets before going
to sleep. So a barrier is needed to make sure that any following
check won't happen before the interrupt is actually enabled.
