Any particular reason for this calling convention? The real CAS instruction
specifically takes two data registers for the two values. It seems more
logical to me to have oldval and newval in data registers and just have
the mem argument in an address register.
For reference, here's the syntax summary from the m68k PRM:
CAS Dc, Du, <ea>
