With this, a cmpxchg32() will result in something like

  amocas.w.rl     a5,a4,(s1)
  fence           rw,rw

(cf. my remarks in patch #4); this will/should provide enough sync,
but you might want to try the alternative and currently more common
mapping for "fully-ordered AMO sequences", aka

  amocas.w.aqrl   a5,a4,(s1)

Similarly for cmpxchg64 and other sizes.
