Hi Andre,

I've picked up this series to send on to Catalin and Will ...

This conflicts with Ben's fixes [0] that turn this into __ris_msmon_read_locked().
I don't think the ACQUIRE buys us anything after that, as none of the callers need
to return early, and __ris_msmon_read_locked() can always just return.

The same thing happens in mpam_save_mbwu_state() where Ben's change means you no
longer need an early return after mpam_msc_read_mbwu_l().

Please double check I've not botched your patch when fixing up the conflict!
