Nathan Hjelm d86e41ea13 atomic/gcc: add check for 128-bit CAS being lock-free
Compiler implementations are free to include support for atomics that
use locks. Unfortunately lock-free and lock atomics do not mix. Older
versions of llvm on OS X use locks to provide
__atomic_compare_exchange on 128-bit values but are lock-free on
64-bit values. This screws up our lifo implementation which mixes
64-bit and 128-bit atomics on the same values to improve
performance. This commit adds a configure-time check if 128-bit
atomics are lock free. If they are not then the 128-bit __atomic CAS
is disabled and we check for the __sync version as a fallback.
