 * Executes an MFENCE instruction to serialize all load and store instructions
 * that were issued prior the MFENCE instruction. This serializing operation
 * guarantees that every load and store instruction that precedes the MFENCE
 * instruction is globally visible before any load or store instruction that
 * follows the MFENCE instruction. The MFENCE instruction is ordered with
 * respect to all load and store instructions, other MFENCE instructions, any
 * SFENCE and LFENCE instructions, and any serializing instructions (such as
 * the CPUID instruction).
