Answer to Philip Reames comments

- add check for volatile (probably unneeded, but I agree that we should be conservative about it).
- strengthen condition from isUnordered() to isSimple(), as I don't understand well enough Unordered semantics (and it also matches the comment better this way) to be confident in the previous behaviour (thanks for catching that one, I had missed the case Monotonic/Unordered).
- separate a condition in two.
- lengthen comment about aliasing and loads
- add tests in GVN/atomic.ll
