+ * 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.
