I'd suggest you just do

  #define arch_test_bit_acquire generic_test_bit_acquire

in each of these files, instead of duplicating that function over and
over again..

Because the generic version always exists, since it comes from
generic-non-atomic.h, which is included directly from
<linux/bitops.h>.
