If I use a variable called $smp_barriers, I'd expect
it to actually be the smp_barriers, not to have to
prefix it with smp_ before using it.

		my $smp_barriers = qr{
			smp_store_release|
			smp_load_acquire|
			smp_store_mb|
			smp_read_barrier_depends
		}x;

or

		my $smp_barriers = qr{
			smp_(?:store_release|load_acquire|store_mb|read_barrier_depends)
		}x;

And this shouldn't have a capture group.

		my $all_barriers = qr{
			$barriers|
			$smp_barriers
		}x;

This doesn't need the capture group either (?:all_barriers)
