Perhaps a silly question (I'm too engrossed in PMU world ATM to get
properly back up to speed on this), but couldn't this be done without
cmpxchg anyway? Instinctively it feels like instead of maintaining a
literal software copy of the prod value, we could resolve the "claim my
slot in the queue" part with atomic_fetch_add on a free-running 32-bit
"pseudo-prod" index, then whoever updates the hardware deals with the
truncation and wrap bit to convert it to an actual register value.
