memory-barrier.txt always scares me. I have read it for a while
and IIUC, it seems semantic of spin_unlock(&same_pte) would be
enough without some memory-barrier inside mm_tlb_flush_nested.

I would be missing something totally.

Could you explain what kinds of sequence you have in mind to
have such problem?

Thanks.
