/* These are here in an effort to more fully work around Spitfire Errata
 * #51.  Essentially, if a memory barrier occurs soon after a mispredicted
 * branch, the chip can stop executing instructions until a trap occurs.
 * Therefore, if interrupts are disabled, the chip can hang forever.
 *
 * It used to be believed that the memory barrier had to be right in the
 * delay slot, but a case has been traced recently wherein the memory barrier
 * was one instruction after the branch delay slot and the chip still hung.
 * The offending sequence was the following in sym_wakeup_done() of the
 * sym53c8xx_2 driver:
 *
 *	call	sym_ccb_from_dsa, 0
 *	 movge	%icc, 0, %l0
 *	brz,pn	%o0, .LL1303
 *	 mov	%o0, %l2
 *	membar	#LoadLoad
 *
 * The branch has to be mispredicted for the bug to occur.  Therefore, we put
 * the memory barrier explicitly into a "branch always, predicted taken"
 * delay slot to avoid the problem case.
