We used to access packed descriptor flags via address_space_{write|read}_cached(). When we hit the cache, memcpy() is used which is not an atomic operation which may lead a wrong value is read or wrote.
So this patch switches to use virito_{stw|lduw}_phys_cached() to make sure the aceess is atomic.
