SubjectRe: [cpuops cmpxchg V1 2/4] x86: this_cpu_cmpxchg and this_cpu_xchg operations
Alternate approach: Could also use cmpxchg for xchg..


Subject: cpuops: Use cmpxchg for xchg to avoid lock semantics

Cmpxchg has a lower cycle count due to the implied lock semantics of xchg.

Simulate the xchg through cmpxchg for the cpu ops.
