That #error is only for ARMv5 or below.

Is that a typo? I think xchg() needs to be a full memory barrier.
Pointless on UP.
I don't see the problem here. As Peter pointed out, this code only gets
looked at if !SMP and structuring it this way means I can have one
definition of xchg_relaxed, regardless of architecture version.

I am sorry that I got confused as to where it is defined. It should be OK in this case.
