Hi, Looking at the latest bk tree via

not sure; the performance impact isn't quite know yet, but worse, there
is a lot of hardware of which it is suspected that it doesn't quite do
barriers right. until there is a firm idea about which that is, enabling
it by default sounds bad.
(There is a reason it's not enabled by default in the upstream
kernel...)
