This only affects RMO. This adds stricter semantics for critical section
serialization. In addition to this, asymmetric synchronization primitives will
now provide load ordering with respect to readers.
This also modifies locked operations to have acquire semantics
(they're there for elision predicates, and this doesn't impact them
in any way). There are several performance improvements included in this
as well (redundant fence was removed from days of wanting to support
Alpha).
