+ * Result: Never

+ * This litmus test demonstrates how lock acquisitions and releases can
+ * stand in for smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release(), respectively.
+ * In other words, when holding a given lock (or indeed after releasing a
+ * given lock), a CPU is not only guaranteed to see the accesses that other
+ * CPUs made while previously holding that lock, it is also guaranteed to
+ * see all prior accesses by those other CPUs.
