simulation of aarch64 store-exclusive instructions with backoff in QEMU

I'm wondering if there is any prior art in changing the implementation of the aarch64 store-exclusive instructions so that they fail with some additional backoff protocol.  For example, if the store-exclusive instruction were to succeed, then it will actually fail with a probability of P, and thus forcing the surrounding aarch64 code to (typically) loop back and redo the load-exclusive/store-exclusive sequence.
