Hmmm. Probably me being paranoid and trying to come up with something
for Hector to test before I had access to the HW. The DSB is more than
enough to order CMO and load/store.

Agreed, this isn't great.

I've come up with this on top of the original patch, spitting a
warning when the right conditions are met. It's pretty ugly, but hey,
so is the HW this runs on.
