UP kernel = no sane way to implement this in user-mode qemu?

Probably no straight-forward way, no.

Another possibility is to treat the load as a LL and the store as a SC
(implemented in turn with cmpxchg+branch if it fails).  cmpxchg spans
two basic blocks, so maybe one also needs to look at r0 and sp in
cpu_get_tb_cpu_state...

Yeah, that's a possibility. With the store-conditional failure auto-branching back to the start of the sequence (r0+sp).

Anyhow this patch seems like a bugfix.

Absolutely.
