I hesitate to add stuff like that to existing header files.
memory_barrier belongs into the application namespace, so existing
applications could legitimately already use that name (and are likely
doing it in case they really need the functionality).
Would you like _MEMORY_BARRIER() more? That's in the implementation
namespace.
Likewise, the same goes for using nop(), as tempting as it is. Again,
_NOP() would be fine, as will __nop().
An alternative is to start a new header file for it, so users who want
these definitions can "opt-in" them.
Another definition that just came to mind: setting the JTD bit, a
timed sequence. See here:
http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=553919#553836
for a sample implementation. I wouldn't see any of the existing
header files where that really fits. (It needs to be polished up, I
think some controllers use MCUCR, and some use MCUCSR for JTD.)
If we decide for a new header file, how to name it? <avr/asm.h>?
<avr/misc.h>?

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
