It would be better to use /\b$all_barriers\s*\(/
as there's no reason for the capture and there
could be a space between the function and the
open parenthesis.

I think you mean

	/\b(?:$all_barriers)\s*\(/

as 'all_barriers' will be:

	mb|wmb|rmb|smp_mb|smp_wmb|smp_rmb

and putting that into your suggestion results in:

	/\bmb|wmb|rmb|smp_mb|smp_wmb|smp_rmb\s*\(/

which is clearly wrong - the \b only applies to 'mb' and the \s*\( only
applies to smp_rmb.
