Other architectures with relaxed memory ordering probably also need thus such 
as ia64, powerpc, and perhaps amd64.  sparc64 already has a barrier.  BTW, it 
seems that the bus_dma code could be somewhat simplified if there was a 
sys/kern/subr_busdma.c that contained routines to implement bounce buffers 
that could be used by the MD code since the MD code that does do bounce pages 
tends to duplicate a lot of stuff between the different archs.
