Right, I've not played patch tetris yet so see how it should all fit
together. I also didn't know you feel about loosing the instrumentation
in these functions.

One option would be do add explicit: instrument_atomic_write() calls
before instrument_end() / after instrument_begin() in
the respective callers that have that.

Anyway, I'll shortly be posting a pile of patches resulting from various
KCSAN and KASAN builds. The good news is that GCC-KASAN seems to behave
quite well with Marco's patches, the bad news is that GCC-KASAN is
retarded wrt inline and needs a bunch of kicks.

That is, it out-of-lines:

static inline bool foo(..)
{
	return false;
}

just because..
