Right now, with > `-mcpu=v7', passing `-mmemory-model=tso' has no effect. I'm suggesting changing the default *like* on Linux or Solaris, not to change anything on Linux or Solaris. So you want to mix memory models and synchronization instructions with -mcpu=v7, although they were introduced in the V8 architecture?
