When auditing cmpxchg call sites, Chuck noted that gcc was optimizing
away some of the desired LDs.

| do {
| new = old = *ipi_data_ptr;
| new |= 1U << msg;
| } while (cmpxchg(ipi_data_ptr, old, new) != old);

was generating to below

8015cef8: ld         r2,[r4,0]  <-- First LD
8015cefc: bset       r1,r2,r1
|
8015cf00: llock      r3,[r4]  <-- atomic op
8015cf04: brne       r3,r2,8015cf10
8015cf08: scond      r1,[r4]
8015cf0c: bnz        8015cf00
|
8015cf10: brne       r3,r2,8015cf00  <-- Branch doesn't go to orig LD

Although this was fixed by adding a ACCESS_ONCE in this call site, it
seems safer (for now at least) to add compiler barrier to LLSC based
cmpxchg
