Subject[PATCH] Documentation: memory-barriers: Fix typo in the first example
Date
In the first example, the loads into 'x' and 'y' on CPU 2 doesn't
match the sequence of events described below it. To match the
sequence of events, the values of 'A' and 'B' should be loaded
into 'x' and 'y' respectively.
