  * read_barrier_depends() prevents data-dependent loads being reordered
  *	across this point (nop on PPC).

- * We have to use the sync instructions for mb(), since lwsync doesn't
- * order loads with respect to previous stores.  Lwsync is fine for
- * rmb(), though. Note that rmb() actually uses a sync on 32-bit
- * architectures.
+ * *mb() variants without smp_ prefix must order all types of memory
+ * operations with one another. sync is the only instruction sufficient
+ * to do this.
  *
- * For wmb(), we use sync since wmb is used in drivers to order
- * stores to system memory with respect to writes to the device.
- * However, smp_wmb() can be a lighter-weight lwsync or eieio barrier
- * on SMP since it is only used to order updates to system memory.
+ * For the smp_ barriers, ordering is for cacheable memory operations
+ * only. We have to use the sync instruction for smp_mb(), since lwsync
+ * doesn't order loads with respect to previous stores.  Lwsync can be
+ * used for smp_rmb() and smp_wmb().
+ *
+ * However, on CPUs that don't support lwsync, lwsync actually maps to a
+ * heavy-weight sync, so smp_wmb() can be a lighter-weight eieio.
