It's frozen, though, which is usually the bar for taking code (modulo 
some recent discussions, but I don't think anyone was talking about 
making the bar higher for the RISC-V specs).  IMO it's fine to take 
this, my real worry was about the spec as opposed to the kernel patch -- 
my guess is we'll find little bugs all over the place where the TSO/WMO 
compatibility rules aren't properly handled by software, but we won't 
know until we start setting the bit.
