SubjectRe: [patch 2/8] Implement always-locked bit ops, for memory shared with an SMP hypervisor.

I don't think it's that big an issue because most architectures either
use always locked bitops already or don't need them because they don't do
SMP.

So it will be fine with just a asm-generic header that defines them
to the normal bitops. Not much burden.
