Probably because this code is guarded by "if (TCG_TARGET_REG_BITS ==
64)", so actually it only ever runs with 64-bit targets.

I wonder if QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON (at least in atomics) should not use a
static assertion, but rather the 'error ("MESSAGE")' attribute instead.
This way, if the code is dead it does not cause a build failure.
