This borrows from a technique described by Purcell and Harris
in "Non-blocking hashtables with open addressing" technical report.
Essentially, every slot will have an associated local probe maxim,
including tombstones. Highly aggressive workloads may still require
occassional garbage collection.
This abstracts away pointer packing tricks to a macro,
fixes comparison of pointers to occur in absence of
embedded values and improves robustness of pointer marshaling
for write-side operations for pointers that may already have
had pointer packing tricks played on them.
This function allows for faster insertions into tombstone-heavy
probe sequences by short-circuiting on tombstones rather than
continuing to probe. The user must already guarantee that the
entry being inserted is unique. If a non-unique key is inserted
with this operation, undefined behavior will result.
This assumes adjacent sector prefetch and appears to have minimal
clustering effect. In addition to this, developers are free to define
their own linear probe length by defining CK_HS_PROBE_L1_SHIFT.
Could not find suitable use-case and generally doesn't
appear interesting to academics in the existing
form. Maybe it will make a come-back in the future with
fewer memory and latency compromises.
This adds support for CAS_64{_VALUE}, CAS_PTR_2{_VALUE},
LOAD_64, STORE_64 and other primitives built on universal
CAS primitive.

The array is optimized for SPMC and fast iteration (though MPMC
transformation is also possible). This is an extremely simple
implementation with support for atomic in-place modification
through put -> remove elimination.
Besides implementing Thumb 2 supports, this fixes incorrect usage of
"cmp" where "cmpeq" was meant.

People compiling on ARM on Linux would have experienced problems
if they did not specify --profile. Problem reported by
Christopher Meng <cickumqt@gmail>.
