+ * Without an explicit full barrier speculative LOAD on line 8 can
+ * be executed before CPU#0 does STORE on line 1. If that happens,
+ * CPU#0 observes the PENDING bit is still set and new execution of
+ * a @work is not queued in a hope, that CPU#1 will eventually
+ * finish the queued @work. Meanwhile CPU#1 does not see
+ * event_indicated is set, because speculative LOAD was executed
