[ Upstream commit 8b549c18ae81dbc36fb11e4aa08b8378c599ca95 ]
This came up in the discussion of the requirements of qspinlock on an
architecture. OpenRISC uses qspinlock, but it was noticed that the
memmory barrier was not defined.
Peter defined it in the mail thread writing:
As near as I can tell this should do. The arch spec only lists
this one instruction and the text makes it sound like a completion
barrier.
This is correct so applying this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
