since the kernel doesn't have atomic float ops, and i did see kernel
code for this that noted
the issue, i think my memory is correct. but its been wrong so many
times before.
guaranteed for
24 bits of a 32 bit value. funny old world, eh? :)
Wasn't that just for 32 bit floats though? They were implemented as a
structure
that implied multiple write operations, they only garanteed the mantissa,
not the exponent. I am pretty sure integer memory IO was guaranteed as that
is where the 24 bits came from.
