Hi all, 

    I will submit a new version patch,  which fix this bug *sufficiently and exactly*.

Although programmer would not insert memory access instructions between LL and SC, the memory instructions before LL in program-order, may dynamically executed between the execution of LL/SC, so a memory fence(SYNC) is needed before LL/LLD to avoid this situation.

But we later deduce a rarely circumstance that some speculatively executed memory instructions due to branch misprediction between LL/SC still fall into the above case, so a memory fence(SYNC) at branch-target(if its target is not between LL/SC) is needed for 3A1000 and 3A3000.
