Adding notes about the code generation, using fairly
weak sequences (these are for C++/C11 semantics as
I understand):

(Picking prefix-form for powerpc:)
powerpc Load  Relaxed vs. Acquire: ld vs. ld;cmp;bc;isync
powerpc Fence:            Acquire: lwsync
powerpc Store Relaxed vs. Release: st vs. "Fence: Release";st
powerpc Fence:            Release: lwsync

Note: I am unsure how the above mixes with FreeBSD's
plain-load vs. release-fence rules for atomic, for
example. I've never seen a instruction level breakdowns
of what implements FreeBSD's specific rules for
powerpc64.

aarch64 Load  Relaxed vs. Acquire: LDR vs. LDAR
aarch64 Fence:            Acquire: DMB ISH LD
aarch64 Store Relaxed vs. Release: STR vs. STLR
aarch64 Fence:            Release: DMB ISH

Note: Again I am unsure of the pain-load vs.
acquire-fence rule for FreeBSD. And, here,
similarly for the plain-store vs. release-fence
rule. I've never seen a instruction level breakdowns
of what implements FreeBSD's specific rules for
aarch64.

armv7   Load  Relaxed vs. Acquire: ldr vs. ldr;"Fence: Acquire" (or ldr;teq;beq;isb)
armv7   Fence:            Acquire: dmb ish
armv7   Store Relaxed vs. Release: str vs. "Fence: Release";str
armv7   Fence:            Release: dmb ish

Note: The above fits with FreeBSD's plain-load vs.
release-fence and plain-stores vs. acquire-fence rules
because the fences are used to form Store-Release and
Load-Acquire.

(If I gather correctly FreeBSD does not support aarch32 for its
distinctions from armv7, for example the aarch32's alternative
SeqCst mapping that does not mix well with the armv7 mapping.
Still I list aarch32 for reference.)

aarch32 Load  Relaxed vs. Acquire: LDR vs. LDA
aarch32 Fence:            Acquire: DMB ISH LD
aarch32 Store Relaxed vs. Release: STR vs. STL
aarch32 Fence:            Release: DMB ISH

Note: Again I would be unsure of the pain-load
vs. acquire-fence rule for FreeBSD. Similarly
for the plain-store vs. release-fence rule.

I got these code sequences from:

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/cpp/cpp0xmappings.html

I was unable to use the code sequences to figure out
the intended operation of the:

atomic_store_rel_int(&qpair->cq_head, 0)

absent any atomic_load_acq_int to match --and everything
else being based on just plain load/store for cq_head .
