[PATCH] Consolidate the description of volatile operations

Now that some of the intrinsics have volatile semantics, in addition to load and store, it seems useful to consolidate the definition of "volatile" and have all the uses refer to one place. This will also be useful as we add atomic operations since they also need optional volatile semantics.

This looks good to me.  There are some tricky issues with volatile not covered
here, but they weren't covered by the original text either :-).
