So as explained in Documentation/memory-barriers.txt e.g. a load followed by a store require a full memory barrier, to avoid store being ordered before the load. Similarly load-load requires a read memory barrier. Thinking about it, we can actually create a data dependency by mixing the first loaded value into the pointer being accessed. This adds an API for this and uses it in virtio. Written
