RFR: 8234688 [lworld] Supporting volatile semantic for flattenable fields

[David Simms]

I'm good with the change, nice to add a test, thanks for that.

Just a small comment: we could probably allow for the flattening for 
sizes that are naturally atomic for the H/W, i.e. x86_64 allows 64 bits 
? (Assuming correct alignment for "Copy::conjoint_memory_atomic" to 
consume).

/D
