+/* The MIPS archtectures do not have a uniform memory model. Particular
+ platforms may provide additional guarantees - for instance, the R4000
+ LL and SC instructions implicitly perform a SYNC, and the 4K promises
+ strong ordering.
+
+ However, in the absence of those guarantees, we must assume weak ordering
+ and SYNC explicitly where necessary.
+
+ Some obsolete MIPS processors may not support the SYNC instruction. This
+ applies to "true" MIPS I processors; most of the processors which compile
+ using MIPS I implement parts of MIPS II. */
