I'm not entirely following the thread, but sounds like there's going to 
be generic kernel users of this now?  Before we'd said "no" to the 
byte/half atomic emulation routines beacuse they weren't used, but if 
it's a generic thing then I'm find adding them.

There's a patch set over here 
<https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240103163203.72768-2-leobras@xxxxxxxxxx/> 
that implements these more directly using LR/SC.  I was sort of on the 
fence about just taking it even with no direct users right now, as the 
byte/half atomic extension is working its way through the spec process 
so we'll have them for real soon.  I stopped right there for the last 
merge window, though, as I figured it was too late to be messing with 
the atomics...

So

if you guys want to take some sort of tree-wide change to make the 
byte/half stuff be required everywhere.  We'll eventually end up with 
arch routines for the extension, so at that point we might as well also 
have the more direct LR/SC flavors.

If you want I can go review/merge that RISC-V patch set and then it'll 
have time to bake for a shared tag you can pick up for all this stuff?  
No rush on my end, just LMK.
