So you also need to find out whether all our supported versions of clang are OK with the gcc-4.4-and-up version of this code... (I think that deleting this set of #ifs means we end up with the "just use __sync_synchronize()" version of smp_mb() later on in the header?) thanks -- PMM

Since commit efc6c070aca ("configure: Add a test for the minimum compiler version") the minimum compiler version required for GCC is 4.8, which has the GCC BZ#36793 bug fixed. We can safely remove the special case introduced in commit a281ebc11a6 ("virtio: add missing mb() on notification").
