+ * MO_ATOM_* describes the atomicity requirements of the operation:
+ * MO_ATOM_IFALIGN: the operation must be single-copy atomic if it
+ * is aligned; if unaligned there is no atomicity.
+ * MO_ATOM_IFALIGN_PAIR: the entire operation may be considered to
+ * be a pair of half-sized operations which are packed together
+ * for convenience, with single-copy atomicity on each half if
+ * the half is aligned.
+ * This is the atomicity e.g. of Arm pre-FEAT_LSE2 LDP.
+ * MO_ATOM_WITHIN16: the operation is single-copy atomic, even if it
+ * is unaligned, so long as it does not cross a 16-byte boundary;
+ * if it crosses a 16-byte boundary there is no atomicity.
+ * This is the atomicity e.g. of Arm FEAT_LSE2 LDR.
+ * MO_ATOM_WITHIN16_PAIR: the entire operation is single-copy atomic,
+ * if it happens to be within a 16-byte boundary, otherwise it
+ * devolves to a pair of half-sized MO_ATOM_WITHIN16 operations.
+ * Depending on alignment, one or both will be single-copy atomic.
+ * This is the atomicity e.g. of Arm FEAT_LSE2 LDP.
+ * MO_ATOM_SUBALIGN: the operation is single-copy atomic by parts
+ * by the alignment. E.g. if the address is 0 mod 4, then each
+ * 4-byte subobject is single-copy atomic.
+ * This is the atomicity e.g. of IBM Power.
+ * MO_ATOM_NONE: the operation has no atomicity requirements.
+ *
+ * Note the default (i.e. 0) value is single-copy atomic to the
+ * size of the operation, if aligned. This retains the behaviour
+ * from before this field was introduced.
