Of course, for non-x86, you kind of have to expect drivers to be well-behaved, so non-x86 can probably avoid this simply because there are less relevant drivers involved. Here's a UNTESTED patch for x86 that may or may not compile and work, and which serializes (on a compiler level) the IO accesses against regular memory accesses. __read[bwlq]()/__write[bwlq]() are not serialized with a :"memory" barrier, although since they still use "asm volatile" I suspect that i practice they are probably serial too. Did not look very closely at any generated code (only did a trivial test to see that the code looks *roughly* correct). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
