Above code have a bug! Considering below code:

u8 acquired = FALSE;

ACPI_ACQUIRE_GLOBAL_LOC(acpi_gbl_common_fACS.global_lock, acquired);
if(acquired) {
....
}

Gcc will complain " ERROR: '%cl' not allowed with sbbl ". And I think any other compiler will
complain that too !

How about below changes to your proposal code.

< "sbbl %0,%0" \
< :"=r"(Acq):"r"(GLptr),"i"(~1L):"dx","ax"); \
---
> "sbbl %%eax,%%eax" \
> :"=a"(Acq):"r"(GLptr),"i"(~1L):"dx"); \

PS. I'm very curious about how could you find this bug.

Thanks
Luming
