/*
* Note on memory prefetching and updating memory mappings, also described in:
* AMD x86-64 Architecture Programmer's Manual, Volume 2, System Programming,
* 7.2.1 Special Coherency Considerations.
*
* The processor which modifies a page table mapping can access prefetched data
* from the old mapping. In order to prevent this, we place a memory barrier
* after a mapping is updated.
*
* We assume that the other processors are either not using the mapping yet
* (i.e. during the bootstrap) or are executing the TLB shootdown code. While
* we don't care much about the former case, the processors in the latter case
* will do an implicit serialization by virtue of running the TLB shootdown
* interrupt handler.
