I do not think this is correct.

The implementation in <asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h> is UP-only (and it only
disables interrupts), whereas arch/sh can be built SMP. We should probably add
some guards into <asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h> for that as we have in
<asm-generic/cmpxchg.h>.

I think the right thing to do here is to define arch_cmpxchg_local() in terms
of arch_cmpxchg(), i.e. at the bottom of arch/sh's <asm/cmpxchg.h> add:

#define arch_cmpxchg_local              arch_cmpxchg

Mark.
