The current cas64 definition hard-codes the x86 behavior
of updating *old with the new value when the cas fails.
This is inconsistent with cas32 and casp.
Make it consistent.
This means that the cas64 uses will be epsilon less efficient
than they might be, because they have to do an unnecessary
memory load on x86. But so be it. Code clarity and consistency
is more important.

This is for SPARC64, a 64-bit processor that uses all 64-bits
of virtual addresses. The idea is to use the low order 3 bits
to at least get a small ABA counter. That should work since
pointers are aligned. The idea is for SPARC64 to set CNT_MASK
== 7, PTR_BITS == 0, PTR_MASK == 0xffffffffffffff8.
Also add uintptr casts to avoid GCC warnings. The gccgo
runtime code is compiled with GCC, and GCC warns when casting
between a pointer and a type of a different size.
