Producer's RMW can be totally relaxed with respect to memory barriers if
implemented as load-reserve/store-conditional or CAS loop (making
subsequent stores control-dependent).

OTOH, for loopless XCHG-style RMW you need to ensure that it has acquire
semantics (InterlockedExchangePointerAcquire in MS terms).
