Date
I was reading the memory barries documentation in order to make sure the
RISC-V barries were correct, and I found a broken link to the atomic
operations documentation.

This means that ACQUIRE acts as a minimal "acquire" operation and
RELEASE acts as a minimal "release" operation.

Memory barriers are only required where there's a possibility of interaction
between two CPUs or between a CPU and a device. If it can be guaranteed that
