The problem is that the 1 and 2 byte parameter size cases in __cmpxchg
are ifdef'ed CONFIG_CPU_V6 but drivers/xen/grant-table.c needs them.

So we can either undef CONFIG_CPU_V6 in grant-table.c or call a
different function.

If I switch from ifdef CONFIG_CPU_V6 to if __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ > 6 in
__cmpxchg, we still have the problem that if __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ == 6,
grant-table.c doesn't compile.

Maybe the approach taken by the other patch for cmpxchg is better, see
below.
