Subject[PATCHv7 0/2] net: fix race in the receive/select
This patchset fixies the race within the poll_wait call and the receive callbacks,
by adding memory barrier.

- 1/2 includes the actual fix
- 2/2 includes optimization for the x86 arch

It is discussed and described in the following discussions:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/18/124

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/29/216
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/3/68

Patchset is made on top of Linus'es tree 44b572809581d5a10dbe35aa6bf689f32b9c5ad6 .

Booted on x86_64.
