Back in 2016, we discussed[1] rules for headers, and these were
generally liked:
1. Have a carefully curated header that's included everywhere first. We
got that already thanks to Peter: osdep.h.
2. Headers should normally include everything they need beyond osdep.h.
If exceptions are needed for some reason, they must be documented in
the header. If all that's needed from a header is typedefs, put
those into qemu/typedefs.h instead of including the header.
3. Cyclic inclusion is forbidden.
This patch gets include/ closer to obeying 2.
It's actually extracted from my "[RFC] Baby steps towards saner
headers" series[2], which demonstrates a possible path towards
checking 2 automatically. It passes the RFC test there.

Without this patch, gcc might up the Input/Output registers and
cause unpredictable error.

GCC7+ will no longer advertise support for 16-byte __atomic operations
if only cmpxchg is supported, as for x86_64. Fortunately, x86_64 still
has support for __sync_compare_and_swap_16 and we can make use of that.
AArch64 does not have, nor ever has had such support, so open-code it.
