[Qemu-devel] [RFC v7 15/16] target-arm: cpu64: use custom set_excl hook

[Alvise Rigo]

In aarch64 the LDXP/STXP instructions allow to perform up to 128 bits
exclusive accesses. However, due to a softmmu limitation, such wide
accesses are not allowed.

To workaround this limitation, we need to support LoadLink instructions
that cover at least 128 consecutive bits (see the next patch for more
details).
