Architectures are required to provide four-byte cmpxchg() and 64-bit architectures are additionally required to provide eight-byte cmpxchg(). However, there are cases where one-byte cmpxchg() would be extremely useful. Therefore, provide cmpxchg_emu_u8() that emulates one-byte cmpxchg() in terms of four-byte cmpxchg(). Note that this emulations is fully ordered, and can (for example) cause one-byte cmpxchg_relaxed() to incur the overhead of full ordering. If this causes problems for a given architecture, that architecture is free to provide its own lighter-weight primitives.
