Opteron rev E family of processor expose a bug where, in very rare
ocassions, memory barriers semantic is not honoured by the hardware
itself. As a result, some random breakage can happen in uninvestigable
ways (for further explanation see at the content of the commit itself).
As long as just a specific familly is bugged of an entire architecture
is broken, a complete fix-up is impratical without harming to some
extents the other correct cases.
Considering that (and considering the frequency of the bug exposure)
just print out a warning message if the affected machine is identified.
