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.

As on other hosts, the CPU identification instruction is priveleged,
so we need to look through /proc/cpuinfo. I copied the PowerPC way of
handling "generic".
Several tests were implicitly assuming z10 and so failed on z196.

These instructions are allowed to trap even if the condition is false,
so for now they are only used for "*ptr = (cond ? x : *ptr)"-style
constructs.

This first step just adds definitions for SLLK, SRLK and SRAK.
The next patch will actually make use of them during codegen.
insn-bad.s tests that some form of error is reported when using these
instructions on z10. More work is needed to get the "instruction requires:
distinct-ops" that we'd ideally like, so I've stubbed that part out for now.
I'll come back and make it mandatory once the necessary changes are in.
