C ISA2+pooncerelease+poacquirerelease+poacquireonce
(*
* Result: Never
*
* This litmus test demonstrates that a release-acquire chain suffices
* to order P0()'s initial write against P2()'s final read. The reason
* that the release-acquire chain suffices is because in all but one
* case (P2() to P0()), each process reads from the preceding process's
* write. In memory-model-speak, there is only one non-reads-from
* (AKA non-rf) link, so release-acquire is all that is needed.
