+To fix:
++   arm64 arch_ops.h - arch_cycle_count is bogus
++   x86 arch_ops.h - switch to builtin atomics
++   riscv - exception decode can be a negation test (top bit set)
++   arm arch_ops.h left over pre-armv6 stuff
++   see about expanding cycle count to a ulong
++   lib console make read only blocks
