There is already code using the built-ins in the repo. I do not see why thi=
s is any different.
How difficult it is for the compiler to support these built-ins?
If DPDK supports another compiler in the future that do not have these buil=
t-ins, the shotgun approach should be straight forward as there is a 1:1 ma=
pping between the built-ins and the C11 atomic APIs from stdatomic.h.
