Hi, OK, another go at submitting these 3 memory ordering improvement patches. I've tested on my G5, but I'd like to especially get confirmation as to whether the __SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC thing works on E500MC. -- Change 2d1b2027626d5151fff8ef7c06ca8e7876a1a510 removed __SUBARCH_HAS_LWSYNC, causing smp_wmb to revert back to eieio for all CPUs. Restore the behaviour intorduced in 74f0609526afddd88bef40b651da24f3167b10b2.
