If some value cannot be bitcasted from Int to ValueType (from Int128 to fp80, 
for example), we have to create a temp. But we have to create different temps 
for AtomicLoad() and for AtomicCompareExchange() (here we must create a 
structure of 2 elements). And these temps must be created only if we were 
unable to directly cast from int to value type.
