Ok this fixes ARCompact - assuming it will have LL/SC. We do have old SoCs w/o that support. So what we are saying is that any arch (or a configuration thereof) which doesn't support atomic r-m-w can't even build perf now - that sucks !
A better way would be to do feature test for __sync_xyz and make atomic_xxx wrappers call __sync_xyz) vs. an empty stub. So atleast such arches can build and do "some" perf work !
