Yes, I wasn't sure where to put it.

Unfortunately, I designed this badly for the first memop extension,
the absolute memop is supported if extension_cap > 0.
But we can always also set bit 0 in that case.

I'll add newlines then.

The return code is complicated, using effectively two return codes does cleanly
separate the possible error types, but also means one has to check two return codes.
I'm fine with that, but in that case it shouldn't be the PGM code that gets separated,
but the success of the xchg. So <0 kernel error, >0 PGM code, like everywhere else
and ==0 -> check *success.

Yes, what that does is basically to check if the cmpxchg args are valid.
Then it checks if the target address is writable.
Not much code necessary for that other than not doing the cmpxchg if check_only
is set.
