Herd7 transforms reads, writes, and read-modify-writes by eliminating
'acquire tags from writes, 'release tags from reads, and 'acquire,
'release, and 'mb tags from failed read-modify-writes. We emulate this
behavior by redefining Acquire, Release, and Mb sets in linux-kernel.bell
to explicitly exclude those combinations.
Herd7 furthermore adds 'noreturn tag to certain reads. Currently herd7
does not allow specifying the 'noreturn tag manually, but such manual
declaration (e.g., through a syntax __atomic_op{noreturn}) would add
invalid 'noreturn tags to writes; in preparation, we already also exclude
this combination.

This comment needs a bit help, "failed RMW"s still exist, they just
don't provide ordering. How about:
(*
* Filter out syntactic annotations that don't provide the corresponding
* semantic ordering, such as Acquire on a store or Mb on a failed RMW.
*)
?

Oh, I see how the comment can be misread. A smaller fix would be
"Acquire on a store or on a failed RMW"
but I actually like your longer explanation better, so I think I'll go
with that.
