Research direction

Open include/boost/interprocess/detail/atomic.hpp at line 174 and inspect the existing x86 inline-assembly operand template. Update that template to provide the Intel-syntax alternative shown in the issue; the work is done when the assembly supports both operand-order syntaxes without changing the atomic operation.
