    +1, especially since the kernel is not special; anyone working with
    threads faces the same issues in userland, which are often hidden
    behind the implicit whole-memory clobbers of certain operations or
    the call to mutex manipulation functions, but which become a reality
    again as soon as you go slightly away from these and try to use
    lockless mechanisms.
