I expect this one to be hard-coded in herd7 source code, but I cannot find
it. Can you give me a pointer?

smp_store_mb() is currently mapped to { __store{once}(X,V); __fence{mb}; } in
the .def file, so it's semantically equivalent to "WRITE_ONCE(); smp_mb();".

By the way, I experimented a little with these kind of mappings to see if we can just explicitly encode the mapping there. E.g., I had an idea to use { __fence{mb-successful-rmw}; __cmpxchg{once}...; __fence{mb-successful-rmw}; }

for defining (almost) the current mapping of cmpxchg explicitly.

But none of the changes I made were accepted by herd7.

Do you know how the syntax works?
