The description of CSST in the PoOp says "As observed by this CPU and by
other CPUs, all fetches appear to occur before all stores, and the store
into the first operand appears to occur before the store into the second
operand."

Is that saying that there is a chance that another CPU might observe a
condition in which the store of the first operand had occurred, but the
store of the second operand had not? My understanding from earlier
paragraphs was that CSST happened "all at once" from the point of view of
other CPUs. Was I mistaken?
