The "RISC-V C API" [1] defines architecture extension test macros
says naming rule for the test macros is __riscv_<ext_name>, where
<ext_name> is all lower-case.
Three extensions dealing with atomics implementation are:
"zaamo" consists of AMO instructions,
"zalrsc" - LR/SC,
"a" extension means both "zaamo" and "zalrsc"
Built-in test macros are __riscv_a, __riscv_zaamo and __riscv_zalrsc.
Alternative to the __riscv_a macro name, __riscv_atomic, is deprecated.
Use correct test macro __riscv_zaamo for the AMO variant of atomics.
It used to be __riscv_atomic that is both deprecated and incorrect
because it tests for the "a" extension; i.e. both "zaamo" and "zalrsc"
If ISA enables only zaamo but not zalrsc, code as it was would not compile.
Older toolchains may have neither __riscv_zaamo nor __riscv_zalrsc, so
query __riscv_atomic - it should be treated as both __riscv_zaamo and
__riscv_zalrsc, in all present cases __riscv_zaamo is more favorable
so take is as alternative for __riscv_zaamo
