Re-add more primops for atomic ops on byte arrays

One would need at least an i586 to get that. It is not observed on GNU/Linux as it allegedly defaults to i586 code generation. The trivial patch below makes this explicit so now it could build: --- ghc-prim.cabal.orig 2014-07-03 03:06:16.000000000 +0200 +++ ghc-prim.cabal 2014-07-03 20:27:49.709087595 +0200 @@ -62,3 +62,6 @@ -- We need to set the package name to ghc-prim (without a version number) -- as it's magic. ghc-options: -package-name ghc-prim + -- Due to CMPXCHG8B, we have to ask for Pentium code generation. + cc-options: -march=i586 + However, my fellow developer, Konstantin Belousov pointed out that using CMPXCHG8B would officially require checking for the corresponding CPUID bit set, because that is what truly indicates the presence of that instruction.
