Ralf Baechle 0004a9dfea [MIPS] Cleanup memory barriers for weakly ordered systems.
Also the R4000 / R4600 LL/SC instructions imply a sync so no explicit sync
needed.

/*
* read_barrier_depends - Flush all pending reads that subsequents reads
* depend on.
*
* No data-dependent reads from memory-like regions are ever reordered
* over this barrier. All reads preceding this primitive are guaranteed
* to access memory (but not necessarily other CPUs' caches) before any
* reads following this primitive that depend on the data return by
* any of the preceding reads. This primitive is much lighter weight than
* rmb() on most CPUs, and is never heavier weight than is
* rmb().
*
* These ordering constraints are respected by both the local CPU
* and the compiler.
*
* Ordering is not guaranteed by anything other than these primitives,
* not even by data dependencies. See the documentation for
* memory_barrier() for examples and URLs to more information.
*
* For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial
* value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"):
*
* <programlisting>
* CPU 0 CPU 1
*
* b = 2;
* memory_barrier();
* p = &b; q = p;
* read_barrier_depends();
* d = *q;
* </programlisting>
*
* because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these
* two reads are separated by a read_barrier_depends(). However,
* the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b":
*
* <programlisting>
* CPU 0 CPU 1
*
* a = 2;
* memory_barrier();
* b = 3; y = b;
* read_barrier_depends();
* x = a;
* </programlisting>
*
* does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between
* the read of "a" and the read of "b". Therefore, on some CPUs, such
* as Alpha, "y" could be set to 3 and "x" to 0. Use rmb()
* in cases like this where there are no data dependencies.
