Hi,
> I think the patch is wrong, the jump should be before the memory references!
I'm not sure it's wrong, but also not sure it isn't. It's a kludge attempting to circumvent several unknown CPU bugs. On some machines, the jump _after_ the accesses helps, maybe doing a jump _before_ them would help in some other cases. Probably we should test both possibilities, but as we don't know what's happening here, neither way seems to be wrong.
