I doubt the proposed patch with a FIXME and a TODO is appropriate for the man pages project. It does point out the fact that the membarrier man page needs updating following Peter's commit though.
Peter (Oskolkov), can you contribute a patch detailing the new membarrier flags and cpu_id arguments to the man pages project ?
Thanks,
Mathieu
