So, yes, what I am trying to say is that it can really depend if you have ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT
enabled or not and then also based on architecture. Thus I believe is also true for atomic: there
might be differences when you use arch. dependent version of function or not.
So, I guess if I rewrite the commits, I should only include the statement on relaxed memory order
for REFCOUNT_FULL and tell that arch. specific implementations may vary on their properties
(as they do now).
