It's not technically reviewed: even if two people approve it, objections must be addressed.

I am still of the belief that the AArch64 code can be integrated without touching the x86 atomics. If I had a WIndows AArch64 system and enough time to figure out how to build and debug this stuff I'd do it myself, just to prove the point.

Hint: put the common atomic stuff in a separate place. Call it from the AArch64 code, but do not touch the x86 code.
