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.
