I would like access to LLVM memory barrier instruction as a built-in
from clang, which means that I need a name for it. In gcc, I see names
like __builtin_ia32_mfence but those refers to X86 SSE instruction
that we support. I don't see a gcc name that has the same semantics
as our barrier instruction. For a name, I was thinking of
__builtin_memory_barrier or __builtin_llvm_memory_barrier. Does
anyone object of adding it as built-in or have a better idea for a name?
