Hmm, you're right about that, obviously. I already forgot about this
;). Unfortunately, that's not everything. JSR133 requires memory
barriers for volatiles, at least, and this is currently only
implemented for x86_64.

Depending on the processor's memory model, more might be needed. I'll
have to read up on ARM's memory model. This is on my ever-growing
to-do list.

Cheers
