RFC: Add atomic versions of the llvm.memcpy, llvm.memmove and llvm.memset intrinsics
...should give
sufficient freedom to the optimizer while allowing us to transform pre-existing IR loops
into this intrinsics. 'memcpy_atomic' will be lowered into '__memcpy_atomic' library call
(I'm not really certain about choosing function name). 'memset_atomic' and 'memmove_atomic'
both can be defined in a similar way.
It's tempting to model atomic behaviour by adding additional argument to the existing
intrinsics. However by doing so we will need to teach all relevant optimizations and
every backend on how to respect this new argument. This would not only be consid...
