[PATCH] Use correct byte-sized register constraint in __xchg_op()
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Mon Apr 02 2012 - 19:15:59 EST
x86-64 can access the low half of any register, but i386 can only do
it with a subset of registers. 'r' causes compilation failures on i386,
but 'q' expresses the constraint properly.
