+ * ARCv2 based HS38 cores are in-order issue, but still weakly ordered
+ * due to micro-arch buffering/queuing of load/store, cache hit vs. miss ...
+ *
+ * Explicit barrier provided by DMB instruction
+ *  - Operand supports fine grained load/store/load+store semantics
+ *  - Ensures that selected memory operation issued before it will complete
+ *    before any subsequent memory operation of same type
+ *  - DMB guarantees SMP as well as local barrier semantics
+ *    (asm-generic/barrier.h ensures sane smp_*mb if not defined here, i.e.
+ *    UP: barrier(), SMP: smp_*mb == *mb)
+ *  - DSYNC provides DMB+completion_of_cache_bpu_maintenance_ops hence not needed
+ *    in the general case. Plus it only provides full barrier.
