How about 128bit? :p

There are __int128 (gcc) and _m128 (MSVC) and most 64bit intel/amd
CPUs support cmpxchg16b.
Intrinsics work on gcc, and (eg.) _InterlockedCompareExchange128 on Windows.

This can be very useful to avoid the ABA problem when doing atomics
with 64bit pointers.
For instance, MPM event could benefit from that (see PR 62141)...
