membarrier: introduce qemu/sys_membarrier.h
This new header file provides heavy-weight "global" memory barriers that enforce memory ordering on each running thread belonging to the current process. For now, use a dummy implementation that issues memory barriers on both sides (matching what QEMU has been doing so far). Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
