cmpxchg64_relaxed can be used to provide barrier-less semantics for a 64-bit cmpxchg operation in cases where the strong memory ordering is not required. A useful use-case for this is in the recently merged lockless lockref code. This patch implements a dummy implementation for ia64, which could probably be improved by removing the half barrier associated with the default cmpxchg64 macro.
