We should have a read memory barrier between reading the WPTR from memory and reading ring entries based on that value (ie, we need to ensure both loads are done in order by the CPU).
It could be argued that the MMIO reads in r600_ack_irq() might be enough to get that barrier but I prefer keeping an explicit one just in case.

The subject line says rmb(), but this says wmb(). Just want to verify what you have is correct.
