I think this could just be a "xchp64()", but if the pte/pmd code is
the only thing that actually wants this on 32-bit architectures, I'm
certainly ok with making it be specific to just this code, and calling
it "pxx_xchg()".
I wonder if there's some driver somewhere that wanted to use it, but
just made it be
depends on CONFIG_64BIT
instead, or made it use a cmpxchg64() loop because a plain xchg() didn't work.
I guess it really doesn't matter, with 32-bit being relegated to
legacy status anyway. No need to try to expand usage.
