+ * Memory synchronization helpers for mixed cached vs non cached accesses.
+ *
+ * Some synchronization algorithms have to set states in memory with the
+ * cache enabled or disabled depending on the code path.  It is crucial
+ * to always ensure proper cache maintenance to update main memory right
+ * away in that case.
+ *
+ * Any cached write must be followed by a cache clean operation.
+ * Any cached read must be preceded by a cache invalidate operation.
+ * Yet, in the read case, a cache flush i.e. atomic clean+invalidate
+ * operation is needed to avoid discarding possible concurrent writes to the
+ * accessed memory.
+ *
+ * Also, in order to prevent a cached writer from interfering with an
+ * adjacent non-cached writer, each state variable must be located to
+ * a separate cache line.
