Actually if it was a new line, it would have been reported, at least in
theory:

    # check for memory barriers without a comment.
		    if ($line =~
    /\b(mb|rmb|wmb|read_barrier_depends|smp_mb|smp_rmb|smp_wmb|smp_read_barrier_depends)\(/)
    {
	if (!ctx_has_comment($first_line, $linenr)) {
	    CHK("MEMORY_BARRIER",
		"memory barrier without comment\n" . $herecurr);
	}
    }
