Subject: Re: Re: Re: [PATCH v2] arm: Adding support for atomic half word
exchange
Hello Will,
Thank you so much for the review. I have thought it over and it makes
sense not to have that comment in cmpxchg.h, I will also change !defined to
#ifndef and quickly post a v3.
Regards,
Sarbojit

I think I said it before, but I don't think this comment is of any real
