Something like this:

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
#define PER_CPU_ARG(arg)    %__percpu_seg:arg
#define PER_CPU_VAR(var)    %__percpu_seg:(var)##__percpu_rel
#else /* ! SMP */
#define PER_CPU_ARG(arg)    arg
#define PER_CPU_VAR(var)    (var)##__percpu_rel
#endif    /* SMP */

and using the above PER_CPU_ARG in /lib/cmpxchg{8,16}b_emu.S will
solve the issue.

I will prepare a v2.

Thanks,
Uros.
