/*
* 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.
