Emilio G. Cota 1dd089d0ee target-arm: emulate aarch64's LL/SC using cmpxchg helpers
Emulating LL/SC with cmpxchg is not correct, since it can
suffer from the ABA problem. Portable parallel code, however,
is written assuming only cmpxchg--and not LL/SC--is available.
This means that in practice emulating LL/SC with cmpxchg is
a viable alternative.

The appended emulates LL/SC pairs in aarch64 with cmpxchg helpers.
This works in both user and system mode. In usermode, it avoids
pausing all other CPUs to perform the LL/SC pair. The subsequent
performance and scalability improvement is significant, as the
plots below show. They plot the throughput of atomic_add-bench
compiled for ARM and executed on a 64-core x86 machine.
