You've provided the selftest code for the arch maintainers and the arch maintainers will get "membarrier not implemented" warnings each time they build a kernel. The idea is that when they have time they'll wire it up, run the tests then ship it. If you want to help that process along a bit you could send patches to the arch maintainers along with instructions on how to test the syscall. The less work they have to do, the more likely they are to do it ;) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
