Yes, this is what the code looks like. It is more the requirement for
ldrex/strex opcodes which are ARMv6+ and so is SMP support (here).
Documentation wise you could replace CONFIG_SMP by
__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6
in a later patch if you like. This would be more in-sync with
arch/arm/include/asm/cmpxchg.h :)
