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
