         *  The atomic load-store instructions copy a byte from memory
         *  into r[rd]m then rewrite the addressed byte in memory to all
         *  ones [_ATOMIC_LOCK_LOCKED]. The operation is performed
         *  atomically, that is, without allowing intervening interrupts
         *  or deferred traps. In a multiprocessor system, two or more
         *  processors executing atomic load-store unsigned byte [...]
         *  addressing the same byte [...] simultaneously are guaranteed
         *  to execute them in an undefined, but serial order."

         *
         * "LDSTUB loads a byte value from memory to a register and writes
         *  the value FF_16 into the addressed byte atomically. LDSTUB
         *  is the classic test-and-set instruction. Like SWAP, it has
         *  a consensus number of two and so cannot resolve more than
         *  two contending processes in a wait-free fashion."
