Scrap it! There's so much accumulated cruft around the handling of LL/SC
sequences that I forgot what the original intent was. The whole sequence
has to be assembled for an explicit 64-bit ISA of course as it's meant to
work with 32-bit kernels. The commits referred above are red herrings,
and should not have been needed in the first place if not for the cruft.
I don't think I'll get to cleaning up the cruft anytime soon, but I'll
post v2 tonight to address this specific issue. Long-term perhaps we can
make some extraneous hacks (ones to address issues with earlier hacks) go
away.
