The point I'm trying to make is that if tweaking generic.h improves
performance then it's an indicator of missed cases in the less-generic
atomics code, and the latter is where our attention should be focused.
I think basically all of the improvement Sokolov got was from upgrading
the coverage of generic-gcc.h.
