Ah, yeah, that probably fixes things.

Anyways, not sure what I want to do in the Mono tree for this. We should
probably swap out my version of the patch (the one that does context
switches). Having a membar feels alot cleaner. Would you mind putting up
a pre-7.0a4 for me, so I can see if backporting the patch there and
whatever __asm__ is needed for all the platforms.
