* @MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED:
* Execute a memory barrier on each running
* thread belonging to the same process as the current
* thread. Upon return from system call, the
* caller thread is ensured that all its running
* threads siblings have passed through a state
* where all memory accesses to user-space

* command returns 0. The "expedited" commands
* complete faster than the non-expedited ones,
* they never block, but have the downside of
* causing extra overhead.
*
* Command to be passed to the membarrier system call. The commands need to
* be a single bit each, except for MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY which is assigned to
