One unusual feature of the z architecture is that the result of a
previous load can be reused indefinitely for subsequent loads, even if
a cache-coherent store to that location is performed by another CPU.
A special serializing instruction must be used if you want to force
a load to be reattempted.
Since volatile loads are not supposed to be omitted in this way,
we should insert a serializing instruction before each such load.
The same goes for atomic loads.
The patch implements this at the IR->DAG boundary, in a similar way
to atomic fences. It is a no-op for targets other than SystemZ.

For some reason I never got around to adding these at the same time as
the signed versions. No idea why.
I'm not sure whether this SystemZII::BranchC* stuff is useful, or whether
it should just be replaced with an "is normal" flag. I'll leave that
for later though.
There are some boundary conditions that can be tweaked, such as preferring
unsigned comparisons for equality with [128, 256), and "<= 255" over "< 256",
but again I'll leave those for a separate patch.
