Above link has the below in "future possibilities":

"Memory operands

We could support mem as an alternative to specifying a register class
which would leave the operand in memory and instead produce a memory
address when inserted into the asm string. This would allow generating
more efficient code by taking advantage of addressing modes instead of
using an intermediate register to hold the computed address."

Just so happens that every x86 atomic block uses memops.. and per-cpu
and ...
