Attached patch implements compiler and memory barriers for Solaris
Studio based on documentation at
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18659_01/html/821-1383/gjzmf.html

I defined read and write barriers as acquire and release barriers
instead of pure read and write ones as that's what other platforms
appear to do.
