** Description changed:
[Impact]
Performance is lowered for ARM >= v8.1 cpus by not taking advantage of the
"Large System Extenstion" atomic instructions they provide.
Note: This config was enabled during xenial development, but was
disabled to workaround a FTBFS[*] due to us not having a new enough
binutils to support it. binutils was later updated in xenial, and
supports these instructions.
[Test Case]
TBD
[Regression Risk]
There is a known small performance overhead for <= ARMv8.1 arm64 systems
(noted in the Kconfig).
[...TBD...]
