IIUC that's not accurate, or at least wasn't in 2018.  The ISA tends to 
drift around a bit, so it's possible things have changed since then.  
5ce6c1f3535f ("riscv/atomic: Strengthen implementations with fences") 
describes the issue more specifically, that's when we added these 
fences.  There have certainly been complains that these fences are too 
heavyweight for the HW to go fast, but IIUC it's the best option we have 
given the current set of memory model primitives we implement in the 
ISA (ie, there's more in RVWMO but no way to encode that).

The others all look good, though, and as these are really all 
independent cleanups I'm going to go ahead and put those three on 
for-next.

There's also a bunch of checkpatch errors.  The ones about "*" seem 
spurious, but the alignment ones aren't.  Here's my fixups:
