This is mostly straightforward, but the cmpxchg/cmpxchg_double cases grow
an 'arch' prefix which suggests that they're part of the API with the core
atomics and also makes them horribly ugly. This just looks to be an artifact
of __LL_SC_CALL pasting that in. Can you drop that auto pasting of 'arch',
and instead change the non-cmpxchg-case callers of the macro to include the
arch prefix instead, please?
