Yeah, that's what Michal's patch ontop does.

And to answer my own question: we need the "a" (sem) input for the fast
path.

I guess we can still move "1" (RWSEM_ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS) before the asm():

	long tmp = RWSEM_ACTIVE_WRITE_BIAS;

One thing I'm still not clear on is why we need the output tmp operand:
"=d" (tmp) ?
