Please take a good look at the Sashiko review:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260826070004.8100-2-sarunkod%40amd.com
It looks like the "A" constraint isn't one that you can cleanly mirror
from cmpxchg8b => cmpxchg16b.
Uros, any chance you can give these a good once-over? This seems to be
just the kind of thing you've been fixing up lately. It would be nice to
get them right the first time.
