Well we have refcount_t already, stitching something together that
would work and not suck too badly with performance should be possible.
But yeah direct compiler support would be better (and would allow
optimizing the carry flag checks I guess). I kinda hoped Kees&team
would be working on this eventually.

Adding Kees+kernel-hardening, maybe he'll grow fond of this :-)
