They correspond to the access types that come from the CPU.> I ask because in the translateAtomic function it seems as if the only modes > that matter are Write and Execute. Why does Read not matter? It does.

You don't read a register to find out if its a read or a write, the instruction itself tells you that. > Thus, the 3rd argument to that function looks unnecessary since it is always > the value "Write".

Which file exactly are you liking in. There are multiple implementations of this function. > Again, I might just be overlooking something.
