10 * Memory barrier.
11 * The sync instruction guarantees that all memory accesses initiated
12 * by this processor have been performed (with respect to all other
13 * mechanisms that access memory). The eieio instruction is a barrier
14 * providing an ordering (separately) for (a) cacheable stores and (b)
15 * loads and stores to non-cacheable memory (e.g. I/O devices).
16 *
17 * mb() prevents loads and stores being reordered across this point.
18 * rmb() prevents loads being reordered across this point.
19 * wmb() prevents stores being reordered across this point.
20 *
21 * *mb() variants without smp_ prefix must order all types of memory
22 * operations with one another. sync is the only instruction sufficient
23 * to do this.
