Using EOR to clear the guaranteed-to-be-set lock bit will test the
negative flag just like the x86 implementation. This should be
more efficient than the generic implementation in filemap.c. It
would be better if m68k had __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__.

The ColdFire members of the 68k family do not support byte size eor:

Well, that sucks. What do you suggest for Coldfire?
I am not seeing an easy way to not fall back to something like the MIPS
implementation for ColdFire. Could obviously assemblerize this to do better
than gcc, but if it has to be atomic I think we are stuck with the irq locking.
static inline bool cf_xor_is_negative_byte(unsigned long mask,
volatile unsigned long *addr)
{
unsigned long flags;
unsigned long data;
local_irq_save(flags)
data = *addr;
*addr = data ^ mask;
local_irq_restore(flags);
return (data & BIT(7)) != 0;
}
