I can't seem to get it to always use it either. This comes close:

         __asm__ __volatile__ ("eorl %1, %0"
                 : "+d" (*p)
                 : "di" (mask)
                 : "memory");
         return *p & (1 << 7);

Using eoril for folio_unlock, but not for folio_end_read:

400413e6 <folio_unlock>:
400413e6:       206f 0004       moveal %sp@(4),%a0
400413ea:       2010            movel %a0@,%d0
400413ec:       0a80 0000 0001  eoril #1,%d0
400413f2:       2080            movel %d0,%a0@
400413f4:       2010            movel %a0@,%d0
400413f6:       4a00            tstb %d0
400413f8:       6c0a            bges 40041404 <folio_unlock+0x1e>
400413fa:       42a7            clrl %sp@-
400413fc:       2f08            movel %a0,%sp@-
400413fe:       4eba ff30       jsr %pc@(40041330 <folio_wake_bit>)
40041402:       508f            addql #8,%sp
40041404:       4e75            rts

But that is still worse anyway.

Yes, or any of amcore, m5208evb, m5249evb, m5272c3, m5275evb, m5307c3, m5407c3.
