OK, got it, thanks.

I will rename smp_barrier_stems to barrier_stems since
this doesn't need too much testing.

I'd rather keep the regex code as is since changing it requires
testing.  I might play with it some more in the future
but I'd like to merge it in the current form to help make
sure __smp barriers are not misused.

I'll post v4 now - an ack will be appreciated.
