One more question, can you clarify the semantics of RMW_ordered? Is it
equivalent to RMW_acquire_release, where the acquire applies to the read
part, and the release applies to the write part, or is it ordered more
strongly (total systemwide order on all RMW_ordered, useful for building SC
atomics)?
