atomic_read() is basically always READ_ONCE(), there's a few archs that
implement it in asm with a 'weird' load instruction, but its still a
load. The worst is I think an uncached load for blackfin or somesuch.

There's plenty archs that do not support the jump label bits, but
typically you don't care much about those. I'm not aware of an arch that
cannot fundamentally implement jump_label support if they wanted to.
