Some architectures may have their special barriers for acquire, release
and fence semantics, so that general memory barriers(smp_mb__*_atomic())
in the default __atomic_op_*() may be too strong, so allow architectures
to define their own helpers which can overwrite the default helpers.

  * The idea here is to build acquire/release variants by adding explicit
  * barriers on top of the relaxed variant. In the case where the relaxed
  * variant is already fully ordered, no additional barriers are needed.
+ *
+ * Besides, if an arch has a special barrier for acquire/release, it could
+ * implement its own __atomic_op_* and use the same framework for building
+ * variants
