- Clear 'mayStore' flag when loading from the atomic variable before the
spin loop
- Clear kill flag from one use to multiple use in registers forming the
address to that atomic variable
- don't use a physical register as live-in register in BB (neither entry
nor landing pad.) by copying it into virtual register
(patch by Cameron Zwarich)

- Merge the processing of LOAD_ADD with other atomic load-arith
operations
- Separate the logic getting target constant for atomic-load-op and add
an optimization for atomic-load-add on i16 with negative value
- Optimize a minor case for atomic-fetch-add i16 with negative operand. Test
case is revised.

When the return value is not used (i.e. only care about the value in the memory), x86 does not have to use add to implement these. Instead, it can use add, sub, inc, dec instructions with the "lock" prefix.
This is currently implemented using a bit of instruction selection trick. The issue is the target independent pattern produces one output and a chain and we want to map it into one that just output a chain. The current trick is to select it into a merge_values with the first definition being an implicit_def. The proper solution is to add new ISD opcodes for the no-output variant. DAG combiner can then transform the node before it gets to target node selection.
Problem #2 is we are adding a whole bunch of x86 atomic instructions when in fact these instructions are identical to the non-lock versions. We need a way to add target specific information to target nodes and have this information carried over to machine instructions. Asm printer (or JIT) can use this information to add the "lock" prefix.
