True, but its where we start to break up into smaller functions. And the
only reason we break them out is because we'll get different
implementations depending on NR_CPUS.
So we can view the breakout of xchg_tail and clear_and_set_pending as
preparatory work for introducing the NR_CPUS thing.
That's a different reasoning, but it's fine by me too.
