The qspinlock needs a "forward progress guarantee," not Zacas, and
Zabha could give a guarantee to qspinlock xchg_tail (CPUs < 16K) with
AMOSWAP.H instruction. But, using "LR/SC pairs" also could give enough
fwd guarantee that depends on the micro-arch design of the riscv core.
I think the help of AMO instead of LR/SC is it could off-load AMO
operations from LSU to CIU(Next Level Cache or Interconnect), which
gains better performance. "LR/SC pairs" only provide Near-Atomic, but
AMO gives Far-Atomic additionally.
