so I debugged this guy (had a few bugs ;-)
patch, including a new cmpxchg8b_emu below:

Subject: [PATCH] x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64()
Based on Linus' patch, this patch provides cmpxchg64() using
the alternative() infrastructure.
Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
is not SMP safe.
