Hi all,

This small series is:
    - Hardening write_atomic() to prevent writing to const pointer
    - Allow {read, write}_atomic() to be used in more cases on Arm.

While this was posted after the last posting date, patch #1 is
necessary to avoid the cast introduced by Juergen in [1]. The rest of
the patches would be good hardening to have in Xen 4.14. So I would like
to request the full series to be included in Xen 4.14.

Cheers,
