where two loads are performed such that the second depends on the result
of the first (eg: the first load retrieves the address to which the second
load will be directed), a data dependency barrier would be required to
- make sure that the target of the second load is updated before the address
+ make sure that the target of the second load is updated after the address
obtained by the first load is accessed.
