Tony or David, could you help me?
I think it might be best to make ia64_mca_barrier() a proper
subroutine written in assembly code. Yes, that costs some time, but
we're talking about wasting 1,000+ cycles just to consume the value
read via readX(), so the call-overhead is actually overlapped and
completely trivial.
Yes, of course speed is worth, but in some situations it can happen
that the data integrity is better than the speed.
(sounds crazy but fact)
I'm not familiar with assembly code for intel compiler. So David,
could you write another macro of ia64_mca_barrier() or a proper
subroutine instead?
Thanks,
H.Seto
