Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: [PATCH v3] arm: Adding support for atomic half
 word exchange

Hello Russell,

Please have a look at this patch, please let me know if any modification is required.
I have also submitted the same in your patch system.

v2 -> v3: Removed the comment related to Qspinlock, changed !defined to #ifndef.
v1 -> v2: Extended the guard code to cover the byte exchange case as
well following opinion of Will Deacon. Checkpatch has been run and issues were
taken care of.

Since support for half-word atomic exchange was not there and Qspinlock on ARM
requires it, modified __xchg() to add support for that as well. ARMv6 and lower
does not support ldrex{b,h} so, added a guard code to prevent build breaks.

This looks good to me now:

The part of your text up until here doesn't belong in the commit message.
You'll also need to send this to Russell's patch system.
