I strongly prefer a seperate function call.
I'm wondering if one for write posting and a different for write ordering
would be called for. These are really distinct uses but I'm not sure
it's a distinction that's clear to most folks and they will get misused.
If not, then io_mwb() would be my preference.

More variants of spinlocks?
When to use and how to implement it become even less clear.
