Ensure that the writes into the context image are completed prior to the
register mmio to trigger execution. Although previously we were assured
by the SDM that all writes are flushed before an uncached memory
transaction (our mmio write to submit the context to HW for execution),
we have empirical evidence to believe that this is not actually the
case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
