>For "processed_pkts" and "total_latency" functions, no operations
>should
>keep the order that being executed before loading
>"worker[i].processed_pkts". Thus rmb is unnecessary before loading.
>
>For "perf_launch_lcores" function, wmb after that the main lcore
>updates the variable "t->done", which represents the end of the test
>signal, is unnecessary. Because after the main lcore updates this
>siginal variable, it will jump out of the launch function loop, and wait
>other lcores stop or return error in the main function(evt_main.c).
>During this time, there is no important storing operation and thus no
>need for wmb.
