- * Dale <rahnds@openbsd.org> says:
- * Side note. to prevent two processes from accessing
- * the same address with the lwarx in one instrution
- * and the stwcx in another process, the current powerpc
- * kernel uses a stwcx instruction without the corresponding
- * lwarx which causes any reservation of a process
- * to be removed. if a context switch occurs
- * between the two accesses the store will not occur
- * and the condition code will cause it to loop. If on
- * a dual processor machine, the reserve will cause
- * appropriate bus cycle accesses to notify other
- * processors.
