VIRTIO_F_IO_BARRIER: use I/O barriers in driver
There will be hardware virtio devices in the future, which
require drivers to use the barriers suitable for I/O devices,
compared with software virtio devices which just require
drivers to use the barriers suitable for CPU cores.
To fix the ordering issue for hardware virtio devices, add
a new feature: VIRTIO_F_IO_BARRIER. When negotiated, driver
will use the barriers suitable for I/O devices.
