I can't really parse this changelog...

... but this is not what I suggested: my suggestion [1] was about (limited
to) the fully-ordered macro arch_cmpxchg().  In fact, I've recently raised
some concern about similar changes to the acquire/release macros, cf. [2].

Any particular reasons for doing this?
