Hi, Alan, We are making a SMP like patch to blackfin, cpu_relax() is replaced by a data cache flush function which will count it to a per-cpu counter. If this serial function is called too early, the per-cpu data area have not been initialized, this call will cause crash. So we'd like to use barrier() instead of cpu_relax().
