[Intrin.h] Use compiler builtins to model memory barriers
_ReadBarrier, _WriteBarrier, and _ReadWriteBarrier are essentially memory barriers of one form or another. Model these as atomic_signal_fence(ATOMIC_SEQ_CST). __faststorefence is a curious intrinsic. It's single purpose seems to an alternative to mfence when that instruction is slow. However, mfence is not always slow and is, in general, preferable to a 'lock or' sequence on certain CPUs. Give the compiler freedom to select the best sequence to get a fence. llvm-svn: 242378
