/*
* GCC is a house divided about supporting large atomic operations.
*
* For hosts that only have large compare-and-swap, a legalistic reading
* of the C++ standard means that one cannot implement __atomic_read on
* read-only memory, and thus all atomic operations must synchronize
* through libatomic.
*
* See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80878
*
* This interpretation is not especially helpful for QEMU.
* For softmmu, all RAM is always read/write from the hypervisor.
* For user-only, if the guest doesn't implement such an __atomic_read
* then the host need not worry about it either.
*
* Moreover, using libatomic is not an option, because its interface is
* built for std::atomic<T>, and requires that *all* accesses to such an
* object go through the library. In our case we do not have an object
* in the C/C++ sense, but a view of memory as seen by the guest.
* The guest may issue a large atomic operation and then access those
* pieces using word-sized accesses. From the hypervisor, we have no
* way to connect those two actions.
*
* Therefore, special case each platform.
