    The cpu_mb1() call should not be necessary.  Theoretically
    the lwkt_send_ipiq() call in lwkt_setcpu_self() is responsible
    for synchronizing the data on the originating cpu with the
    target.  In reallity, for IA32, the synchronization is mostly
    inherent due to the fact that IA32 orders writes.
