Looking at this again after a sleep; does it make sense to rename this
config symbol to something like ARCH_MEMORY_ORDER_TSO or somesuch?

I mean, this is only going to be the 3 TSO architectures (x86, s390 and
sparc64) setting this anyway, might as well make a little more generic
config symbol for this.

OTOH, its easy enough to rename the config thing if it ever is needed
elsewhere I suppose.
