Hi,

As paranoia, we want to ensure that the CPU's PTEs have been revoked for
the object before we return from i915_gem_release_mmap(). This allows us
to rely on there being no outstanding memory accesses and guarantees
serialisation of the code against concurrent access just by calling
i915_gem_release_mmap().

smp_mb() or smp_wmb() would not suffice? Is it needed on uniprocessor?
