valid_wakeup is just an optimization, so it's not a problem.
There seems to be always an atomic_or or set_bit before
kvm_s390_vcpu_wakeup is called (except kvm_s390_idle_wakeup which has no
store at all and doesn't need any serialization). So my suggestion is
to add an smp__mb_after_atomic in kvm_s390_vcpu_wakeup; I'll let the
s390 guys do it.
