  17. Key: C: Ordering is cumulative
  18. P: Ordering propagates
  19. R: Read, for example, READ_ONCE(), or read portion of RMW
  20. W: Write, for example, WRITE_ONCE(), or write portion of RMW
  21. Y: Provides ordering
  22. a: Provides ordering given intervening RMW atomic operation
  23. DR: Dependent read (address dependency)
  24. DW: Dependent write (address, data, or control dependency)
  25. RMW: Atomic read-modify-write operation
  26. SELF: Orders self, as opposed to accesses before and/or after
  27. SV: Orders later accesses to the same variable
