/******************************************************************
* IRQ Control Macros
*
* All of them have "memory" clobber (compiler barrier) which is needed to
* ensure that LD/ST requiring irq safetly (R-M-W when LLSC is not available)
* are redone after IRQs are re-enabled (and gcc doesn't reuse stale register)
*
* Noted at the time of Abilis Timer List corruption
* Orig Bug + Rejected solution : https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/29/67
* Reasoning : https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/8/15
