> In `atomic_bsd_zero.hpp` and `atomic_linux_zero.hpp` there are uses of __sync_synchronize(). However,
> `orderAccess_*_zero.hpp` calls the kernel helper, because:
> /*
>  * ARM Kernel helper for memory barrier.
>  * Using __asm __volatile ("":::"memory") does not work reliable on ARM
>  * and gcc __sync_synchronize(); implementation does not use the kernel
>  * helper for all gcc versions so it is unreliable to use as well.
>  */
> 
> We need to clean this up to use `OrderAccess::fence()` to gain access to the kernel helper.
> 
> This depends on JDK-8253464 being fixed first.
> 
> Attention @bulasevich.
> 
> Testing:
>  - [x] ARM32 Zero jcstress
>  - [ ] Mac OS x86_64 Zero jcstress
