    docs/atomics: update comparison with Linux · a4a0e4b2
    Paolo Bonzini authored
    
    Over time, some differences between QEMU and Linux atomics are getting
    smoothed.  In particular, Linux grew atomic_fetch_or (and in general
    the differences regarding RMW operations were not described accurately)
    and smp_load_acquire/smp_store_release.  Also, set_mb was renamed to
    smp_store_mb().  Include these changes in the documentation.
