-     * 1. Set the CLIC_INT_THRESH_REG to mask off interrupts whose level is lower than `intlevel`.
-     * 2. Set MSTATUS_MIE (global interrupt), then program may jump to interrupt vector.

-     * To prevent this, here a fence is used
+     * After writing the threshold register, the new threshold is not directly taken into account by the CPU.
+     * By executing ~8 nop instructions, or by performing a memory load right now, the previous memory write
+     * operations is forced, making the new threshold active. It is then safe to re-enable MIE bit in mstatus.
