page fault scalability patch V9: [4/7] generally available cmpxchgon i386

From: Christoph Lameter
Date: Mon Sep 27 2004 - 14:17:24 EST


Changelog
* Make cmpxchg and cmpxchg8b generally available on i386.
* Provide emulation of cmpxchg suitable for UP if build and
run on 386.
* Provide emulation of cmpxchg8b suitable for UP if build
and run on 386 or 486.
