From af2b1c609ff52b6469d8e67696db98c93c348b0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:18:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] x86: add memory barriers to wrmsr wrmsr is a special instruction which can have arbitrary system-wide effects. We don't want the compiler to reorder it with respect to memory operations, so make it a memory barrier.
