Hence the original note is misleading. The description of getting counter value is not very clear. [1] 'mrs Xt, cntpct' may execute out of program order, either forward or backward. Hence this isb is still required to protect against backward speculation. Correct the note around the code to show the motivation. [1]: AArch64 Programmer's Guides Generic Timer: 3.1.
