> Intel introduced a new instruction “serialize” which ensures that all modifications to flags, registers, and memory by previous instructions are completed and all buffered writes are drained to memory before the next instruction is fetched and executed. It is a serializing instruction and can be used to implement cross modify fence (OrderAccess::cross_modify_fence_impl) more efficiently than using “cpuid” on supported 32-bit and 64-bit x86 platforms.
> 
> The availability of the SERIALIZE instruction is indicated by the presence of the CPUID feature flag SERIALIZE, bit 14 of the EDX register in sub-leaf CPUID:7H.0H.
