Do these new tests really belong here?  I thought we were adding a new 
directory under Documentation/ for litmus tests that illustrate parts 
of the LKMM or memory-barriers.txt.

By contrast, the tests under tools/memory-model are merely to show 
people what litmus tests look like and how they should be written.
