Research direction
Start at include/boost/thread/win32/interlocked_read.hpp around line 158 and inspect the existing x86 inline assembly. Compare that code with the proposed alternative in the issue, then verify the assembly works for the intended Intel syntax case. Done means the file provides the requested alternative without breaking the existing behavior.
