Okay, thanks for the update.

I tried merging r352169 but there merge conflicts in
lib/Target/RISCV/RISCVInstrInfo.td,
test/CodeGen/RISCV/atomic-cmpxchg.ll and
test/CodeGen/RISCV/atomic-rmw.ll.

I didn't actually look at the conflicts, but since the target is still
in experimental and the merge isn't trivial, maybe it's not worth it?
I'm still happy to take them if someone wants to help me resolve the
conflicts though.

Thanks,
Hans
