Well, you could misappropriate futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() which
takes u32s already - you probably might want to rename it to something
more generic first, though.

The asm looks the same except the retval. Yours does
mov %rax, (%rsi)
for actual_old_val_ptr which, AFAICT, is not needed in the 32-bit
case because there we're returning a 32-bit value anyway:
*actual_old_val_ptr = actual_old_val_32;
but gcc writes out the whole 64-bit register %rax to the pointer in %rsi
because it is an unsigned long it gets passed in.
Not that it matters, it is being sign-extended before that with
movl %eax, %eax # actual_old_val_32, tmp137

AFAICT, in this case, we return only a 32-bit value and don't touch
the upper 32 bits of actual_old_val which might be a problem if the
assumptions of the callers is that the whole unsigned long is being
changed.
If that's not the case, then you get much nicer code :-)
