These bits may be used to describe the precise atomicity
requirements of the guest, which may then be used to
constrain the methods by which it may be emulated by the host.

For instance, the AArch64 LDP (32-bit) instruction changes
semantics with ARMv8.4 LSE2, from

  MO_64 | MO_ATMAX_4 | MO_ATOM_IFALIGN
  (64-bits, single-copy atomic only on 4 byte units,
   nonatomic if not aligned by 4),

to

  MO_64 | MO_ATMAX_SIZE | MO_ATOM_WITHIN16
  (64-bits, single-copy atomic within a 16 byte block)

The former may be implemented with two 4 byte loads, or
a single 8 byte load if that happens to be efficient on
the host.  The latter may not, and may also require a
helper when misaligned.
