Ok, I'll try to make it more explicit.

Yes that's exactly that.

The idea was to say, based of that unrelated comment I found, that really nobody wanted to have to
use atomic dedicated helpers like.
As it brings more confusion than clarify, I'll remove it and only say that powperpc was the only
architecture with such helpers.
