Oh, right you are. I just grepped for rmb, and missed it because as
you say, it's a full mb.

The PPRO_FENCE_BUG thing is rather questionable. I'm not sure it's
even documented, but I can't find the official PPro errata now. I
think I discussed it with Andy Glew back when Intel was starting to
document the memory ordering rules.

I'd be willing to get rid of it. It was apparently just an early
stepping or two.

Anybody with better google-fu than me who can find the official Intel
PPro errata?
