+ * instruction are observed before any explicit memory accesses that appear
+ * in program order after the DMB instruction. It does not affect the

+ * Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB) acts as a special kind of memory
+ * barrier. No instruction in program order after this instruction executes
+ * until this instruction completes. This instruction completes when: (1) All
+ * explicit memory accesses before this instruction complete, and (2) all
+ * Cache, Branch predictor and TLB maintenance operations before this
+ * instruction complete.
