/****************
 * Some memory barrier primitives based on the system.
 * right now only OS X, FreeBSD, and Linux are supported. In addition to providing
 * memory barriers, these functions should ensure that data cached in registers
 * is written out to cache where it can be snooped by other CPUs. (ie, the volatile
 * keyword should not be required)
 *
 * the primitives that must be defined are:
 *
 * PaUtil_FullMemoryBarrier()
 * PaUtil_ReadMemoryBarrier()
 * PaUtil_WriteMemoryBarrier()
