The memory barrier parts of system.h are not very different between
i386 and x86_64, the main difference being the availability of
instructions, which we handle with the use of ifdefs.
They are consolidated in system.h file, and then removed from
the arch-specific headers.

+ *
+ * No data-dependent reads from memory-like regions are ever reordered
+ * over this barrier. All reads preceding this primitive are guaranteed
+ * to access memory (but not necessarily other CPUs' caches) before any
+ * reads following this primitive that depend on the data return by
+ * any of the preceding reads. This primitive is much lighter weight than
+ * rmb() on most CPUs, and is never heavier weight than is
+ * rmb().
+ *
+ * These ordering constraints are respected by both the local CPU
+ * and the compiler.
+ *
+ * Ordering is not guaranteed by anything other than these primitives,
+ * not even by data dependencies. See the documentation for
+ * memory_barrier() for examples and URLs to more information.
+ *
+ * For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial
+ * value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"):
+ *
+ * <programlisting>
+ * CPU 0 CPU 1
+ *
+ * b = 2;
+ * memory_barrier();
+ * p = &b; q = p;
+ * read_barrier_depends();
+ * d = *q;
+ * </programlisting>
+ *
+ * because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these
+ * two reads are separated by a read_barrier_depends(). However,
+ * the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b":
+ *
+ * <programlisting>
+ * CPU 0 CPU 1

+ * does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between
+ * the read of "a" and the read of "b". Therefore, on some CPUs, such
