(*
 * Result: Never

 * This litmus test is an extension of the message-passing pattern, where
 * the first write is moved to a separate process.  Because it features
 * a release and a read memory barrier, it should be forbidden.  More
 * specifically, this litmus test is forbidden because smp_store_release()
 * is A-cumulative in LKMM.
