[patch 2/2] x86_64: use asm() like the other atomic operations already do.

From: Sebastian Siewior
Date: Tue Aug 14 2007 - 18:56:18 EST


As Segher pointed out, inline asm is better than the volatile casting all over
the place. From the PowerPC patch description:
Also use inline functions instead of macros; this actually
improves code generation (some code becomes a little smaller,
probably because of improved alias information -- just a few
hundred bytes total on a default kernel build, nothing shocking).

My config with march=k8 and gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2):
