Currently, the Node that is returned by ModelAction::get_node() actually
represents the Node that is parent to the ModelAction. This works well for
some of the backtracking computations (since the backtracking set is held
in the parent Node), but it creates confusion when performing computations

 Node *node;
 ...
 ModelAction *act = node->get_action();
 Node *node2 = act->get_parent();

 ASSERT(node == node2); // Fails
 ASSERT(node->get_parent() == node2); // Succeeds

succeeds and the second one fails. This is probably more desirable in the

libatomic: perform write before context switch

Atomic actions block a thread at the "switch_to_master" function call, so under
the current structure (which isn't quite fit for relaxed modeling yet...) we
should perform the memory write before calling "switch_to_master".

If not, we can observe sequences like the following, where x is an atomic
variable. All actions are seq_cst:

 Initially, x = 0

 Thread    Action
 ------    ------
 1         r1 = x;       // r1 = 0
 1          x = r1 + 1;  //  x = 1, not stored yet?
 2         r2 = x;       // r2 = 0
 2          x = r2       //  x = 1, not stored yet?

Then, depending on scheduling, Thread 1 or Thread 2 might complete first, with
its write being performed *after* it receives control again.
