which one?
arm64 LSE implements atomic_fetch_sub as neg+ldadd.
imo x64 and arm64 example outweighs choices by other archs if there are such.
Even without LSE it will be neg+llsc loop.
The reason I proposed bpf xsub insn earlier is that I thought that llvm
won't be able to emit it so easily and JIT/verifier would struggle.
