Though the IA-32 specification does not require causality
(transitivity), many system implementations based on IA-32 seem to be
causal in practice.  So I have two questions: 
1.  Can anyone cite a real IA-32 system that does not exhibit total
store order?
2.  Can anyone cite a real IA-32 system that does not exhibit causality?
