[PATCH 28 of 39] IB/ipath - Fixes a bug where our delay for EEPROM nolonger works due to compiler reordering

From: Bryan O'Sullivan
Date: Thu Jun 29 2006 - 17:47:33 EST


The mb() prevents the compiler from reordering on this function, with some versions
of gcc and -Os optimization. The result is random failures in the EEPROM read
without this change.
