Subject: [RFC PATCH] arm: asm/cmpxchg.h: Add support half-word xchg()

This patch adds support for a half-word xchg() for ARM using ldrexh/strexh
instructions. It also fixes an asm comment  for __cmpxchg2.

Currently using a half-word xchg() results in the following splat on an ARMv7
machine.

[   45.833303] xchg: bad data size: pc 0xbe806020, ptr 0xeb18deee, size 2
[   45.833324] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   45.837939] kernel BUG at /dvs/git/dirty/git-master_linux/kernel/arch/arm/kernel/traps.c:727!
