This one scares me a lot too; is there a thread on the memory ordering
macros somewhere I can look at?  The ordering constraints on x86 are
pretty specific... if we need to annotate things in the code somehow
that could be a plus (generally every *mb() should have a fat comment
explaining the issue), but this seems like overkill at first glance.
