percpu: Generic this_cpu_cmpxchg() and this_cpu_xchg support
Generic code to provide new per cpu atomic features this_cpu_cmpxchg this_cpu_xchg Fallback occurs to functions using interrupts disable/enable to ensure correct per cpu atomicity. Fallback to regular cmpxchg and xchg is not possible since per cpu atomic semantics include the guarantee that the current cpus per cpu data is accessed atomically. Use of regular cmpxchg and xchg requires the determination of the address of the per cpu data before regular cmpxchg or xchg which therefore cannot be atomically included in an xchg or cmpxchg without segment override. tj: - Relocated new ops to conform better to the general organization. - This patch contains a trivial comment fix.
