I think we were waiting for Paolo to chime in regarding the barrier().
The thing I could beautify is using atomic_read(), but frankly I'm not
sure about it, especially considering multi-proccess. My understanding of
volatile is better than my understanding of atomic_read(). On the other
hand, same multi-process question can be asked about atomic_cmpxchg()
and __atomic_compare_exchange_n()...
