Re: [PATCH] Document Linux's memory barriers

[Stephen Hemminger]

This has been needed for quite some time but needs some more
additions:

1) Access to i/o mapped memory does not need memory barriers.

2) Explain difference between mb() and barrier().

3) Explain wmb() versus mmiowb()

Give some more examples of correct usage in drivers.
