This adds a framework for adding simple barrier litmus tests against
ARM. The litmus tests aren't as comprehensive as the academic exercises
which will attempt to do all sorts of things to keep racing CPUs synced
up. These tests do honour the "sync" parameter to do a poor-mans
equivalent.
The two litmus tests are:
- message passing
- store-after-load
They both have case that should fail (although won't on single-threaded
TCG setups). If barriers aren't working properly the store-after-load
test will fail even on an x86 backend as x86 allows re-ording of non
aliased stores.
I've imported a few more of the barrier primatives from the Linux source
tree so we consistently use macros.
The arm64 barrier primitives trip up on -Wstrict-aliasing so this is
disabled in the Makefile.

- return to unittests.cfg, drop accel=tcg
- use compiler.h for barriers instead of defining outselves
