+/*! rustc compiler intrinsics.
+
+The corresponding definitions are in librustc/middle/trans/foreign.rs.
+
+# Volatiles
+
+The volatile intrinsics provide operations intended to act on I/O
+memory, which are guaranteed to not be reordered by the compiler
+across other volatile intrinsics. See the LLVM documentation on
+[[volatile]].
+
+[volatile]: http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#volatile-memory-accesses
+
+# Atomics
+
+The atomic intrinsics provide common atomic operations on machine
+words, with multiple possible memory orderings. They obey the same
+semantics as C++11. See the LLVM documentation on [[atomics]].
+
+[atomics]: http://llvm.org/docs/Atomics.html
+
+A quick refresher on memory ordering:
+
+* Acquire - a barrier for acquiring a lock. Subsequent reads and writes
+  take place after the barrier.
+* Release - a barrier for releasing a lock. Preceding reads and writes
+  take place before the barrier.
+* Sequentially consistent - sequentially consistent operations are
+  guaranteed to happen in order. This is the standard mode for working
+  with atomic types and is equivalent to Java's `volatile`.
