    doc: Clarify historical disclaimers in memory-barriers.txt · ad944630
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    This commit makes it clear that the reason that these sections are
    historical is that smp_read_barrier_depends() is no more.  It also
    removes the point about comparison operations, given that there are
    other optimizations that can break address dependencies.
