Again, no reply yet. I'm appying them to dpdk-next-virtio. I really
don't think it could perform worse in ARM, as it removes a costly
cache invalidation operation (which should be more expensive than the
instruction cycles).

OTOH, again, testing is welcome, if it's later proved to be worse on
ARM (which I highly doubt), I could revert them.
