Wait8 and Wait16 compare the 1- or 2-byte value at the address with the
comparand and share the waiter queue of the other sizes.
sceKernelSyncOnAddressWake accepts any non-null address: libc's
__std_atomic_notify_one/all pass the atomic's own address, which for 8- and
16-bit atomics need not be 4-byte aligned.

libc's __std_atomic_wait_direct_32 and __std_atomic_wait_direct_64
import these functions, so a libc.prx that contains the C++20 atomic
wait wrappers does not load without them. Wait32 compares a 4-byte
value and Wait64 the full 8-byte value. Both share the waiter queue
of sceKernelSyncOnAddressWait, so sceKernelSyncOnAddressWake releases
waiters of every size on the address. A null address, or one not
aligned to the value size, throws. The by-value comparand, the return
values and the 8-byte alignment of Wait64 are assumed and recorded in
TechnicalDebt.

sceKernelSyncOnAddressWait parks the calling thread while the 32-bit word
at the address still holds the expected value, until
sceKernelSyncOnAddressWake releases it or the timeout expires.
sceKernelSyncOnAddressWake releases up to the requested number of threads
parked on the address, in arrival order.
The libc.prx bundled with SDK 9 titles imports both for its once
primitive, so those titles stopped at load with an unresolved import.
