/*
 * Macros to force memory ordering.  In these descriptions, "previous"
 * and "subsequent" refer to program order; "visible" means that all
 * architecturally visible effects of a memory access have occurred
 * (at a minimum, this means the memory has been read or written).
 *
 *   wmb():	Guarantees that all preceding stores to memory-
 *		like regions are visible before any subsequent
 *		stores and that all following stores will be
 *		visible only after all previous stores.
 *   rmb():	Like wmb(), but for reads.
 *   mb():	wmb()/rmb() combo, i.e., all previous memory
 *		accesses are visible before all subsequent
 *		accesses and vice versa.  This is also known as
 *		a "fence."
 *
 * Note: "mb()" and its variants cannot be used as a fence to order
 * accesses to memory mapped I/O registers.  For that, mf.a needs to
 * be used.  However, we don't want to always use mf.a because (a)
 * it's (presumably) much slower than mf and (b) mf.a is supported for
 * sequential memory pages only.
