Which PowerPC barrier instruction?
isync ? - certainly non-global

eieio ? - does not appear to be global

mbar ? looks like it does not exist on "big" IBM cores. Not sure about "biggish" Freescale cores, like e600. Anyway, programming note suggests that mbar is intended for memory-mapped I/O synchronization rather than SMP synchronization.

sync ? In my copy of docs (PowerISA_v2.07) they list 18 legal forms of sync in m. Which one is global?
