Subject: [PATCH 00/14] advsync: Use pseudo asm in code sequence

Hi Paul,

This series substitutes pseudo-asm codes for C style statements
in code sequences in 'Memory Barrier' section.

Other than the substitution, Patch 2 replaces ACCESS_ONCE(),
Patch 4 is a backport of the changes made in memory-barriers.txt,
Patches 8 and 12 add footnotes to imply the necessity of data
dependency barrier, and Patch 11 renames Section "Guarantee"
to "Minimal Guarantee".

My guess is that the original intention of the "Guarantee"
section was to present minimal guarantees free of memory barriers.
When the necessity of read dependency barrier was recognized,
the barrier sneaked into this section.

In LaTeX, as footnotes can prevent readers' misunderstanding,
We can preserve the original intention.

Thoughts?

                                  Thanks Akira
