/*
 * 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.
