// Different ARM processors have different atomic instructions.  In particular, 
// architecture versions before v6 (which are still in widespread use, e.g. the 
// Intel/Marvell XScale chips like the one in the NSLU2) have only atomic swap.  
// On Linux the kernel provides some support that lets us abstract away from 
// these differences: it provides emulated CAS and barrier functions at special 
// addresses that are garaunteed not to be interrupted by the kernel.  Using 
// this facility is slightly slower than inline assembler would be, but much 
// faster than a system call.
// 
// While this emulated CAS is "strong" in the sense that it does not fail
// "spuriously" (i.e.: it never fails to perform the exchange when the value
// found equals the value expected), it does not return the found value on
// failure. To satisfy the atomic API, compare_exchange_{weak|strong} must
// return the found value on failure, and we have to manually load this value
// after the emulated CAS reports failure. This in turn introduces a race
// between the CAS failing (due to the "wrong" value being found) and subsequently
// loading (which might turn up the "right" value). From an application's
// point of view this looks like "spurious failure", and therefore the
// emulated CAS is only good enough to provide compare_exchange_weak
// semantics.
