Atomic support

Architectures atomic support

The following table summarizes the atomic support among the CPU architectures supported by the git development head. The RTEMS-SMP means whether the SMP mode is supported by the latest SMP. The atomic-hardware means whether the architecture has atomic hardware instruction support.
