This means this_cpu_cmpxchg128 is expected to be present on all 64bit
archs, except Mark just found out that HPPA doens't support __int128
until gcc-11.

(I've been building using gcc-12.2)

And because the cmpxchg128 fallback relies on '==' we can't trivally
fudge that with a struct type either :/ Now, afaict it all magically
works if I use:

#ifdef __SIZEOF_INT128__
typedef __s128 s128
typedef __u128 u128
#else
#if defined(CONFIG_PARISC) && defined(CONFIG_64BIT)
typedef long double u128;
#endif
#endif

but that is *super* gross.

The alternative is raising the minimum GCC for PARISC to gcc-11..

Yet another alternative is using a struct type and an equality function,
just for this.

Anybody?
