We are using them already in several places (vhost was the first one to
introduce them, I think, but now they are also in migration ad in some
tests too).  There is no fallback (asm could be a fallback, but we chose
to require GCC 4.2 or newer).

I'll change this to atomic_inc/dec when applying.  Otherwise
