I am not sure if native driver still need POSTING_READ action. But for guest we can remove it directly. Search the code, there are still upon 270 hints use POSTING_READ. For guest OS, one frequent POSTING_READ_FW action is in irq handler, it will impact the performance if there is heavy interrupts(like media reference usage.)
