To some degree, yes.

SMP ARM

  e3a02000        mov     r2, #0
  ee072fba        mcr     15, 0, r2, cr7, cr10, {5}
  e3a01001        mov     r1, #1
  f5d3f000        pld     [r3]
=>e1d30f9f        ldrexb  r0, [r3]

That ldrexb is part of the xchg() function in serial8250_rpm_get_tx().
So it looks like 2420 n8x0 does not understand ldrexb but the inline
assembly decided that it should.

This OMAP2420 should be ARM1136 / ARMv6. The ARM1136J(F)-S TRM says for
ldrexb: "This command is only available from the rev1 (r1p0) release of
the ARM1136JF-S processor."

So it looks like the CPU should know what to do when this opcode comes
around.
