Zama16b is the property that misaligned load/stores/atomics within
a naturally aligned 16-byte region are atomic.
According to the specification, Zama16b applies only to AMOs, loads
and stores defined in the base ISAs, and loads and stores of no more
than XLEN bits defined in the F, D, and Q extensions. Thus it should
not apply to zacas or RVC instructions.
For an instruction in that set, if all accessed bytes lie within 16B granule,
the instruction will not raise an exception for reasons of address alignment,
and the instruction will give rise to only one memory operation for the
purposes of RVWMO—i.e., it will execute atomically.
