I think the question is whether msync::stuff shall be extended with 
an extra mode for load() which will turn load() into dummy RMW (providing 
illusion of remote write atomicity) and/or atomic<T> itself shall be 
turned into atomic<T, bool remote_write_atomicity = false>. atomic<T, 
true> in Itanic's WB memory could use st.rel for store() instead of 
dummy RMW inside load().

I think both could be useful.

alexander.
