--- Comment #2 from Conrad Meyer <cem at freebsd.org> ---
Isn't (1) just: kernel: mask all interrupts, do operation, unmask; userspace:
take a global mutex over the op?

Do we care if 64-bit atomics don't work from NMI contexts on i486-class
hardware?  I doubt it.

I'm also pro gone_in(12)'ing i486 and lower.
