This patch changes the domain that the memory barrier operates on. Assumes
that the scope of bionic_atomic_barrier() does not include device memory,
memory shared with the GPU or any other memory external to the processor
cluster.

This patch adds support for AArch64 atomic operations. Some
of the stubs use the lightweight store/load exclusive.

It looks like we can probably just use the generic GCC stuff instead;
the generated code looks pretty similar. We should come back to that.
These routines are only used by the pthread implementation, and
__bionic_atomic_inc isn't used, so we can remove it.

In particular this affects assert(3) and __cxa_pure_virtual, both of
which have managed to confuse people this week by apparently aborting
without reason. (Because stderr goes nowhere, normally.)

We're going to modify the __atomic_xxx implementation to provide
full memory barriers, to avoid problems for NDK machine code that
link to these functions.
First step is to remove their usage from our platform code.
We now use inlined versions of the same functions for a slight
performance boost.
+ remove obsolete atomics_x86.c (was never compiled)
NOTE: This improvement was benchmarked on various devices.
Comparing a pthread mutex lock + atomic increment + unlock
we get:
- ARMv7 emulator, running on a 2.4 GHz Xeon:
before: 396 ns after: 288 ns
- x86 emulator in KVM mode on same machine:
before: 27 ns after: 27 ns
- Google Nexus S, in ARMv7 mode (single-core):
before: 82 ns after: 76 ns
- Motorola Xoom, in ARMv7 mode (multi-core):
before: 121 ns after: 120 ns
The code has also been rebuilt in ARMv5TE mode for correctness.

We simply copy the stuff we need from cutils headers.
A future patch will change cutils to include the private <bionic_atomic_inline.h>
