We can add a KCONFIG variable for that, and not set it on sparc32 et al. Alternatively we can have a KCONFIG variable with reversed logic, like "EMULATED_CMPXCHG" which only the atomically challenged platforms need to set. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
