Me too.

I looked and couldn't see an existing 64 bit xchg, was I looking in the
wrong place? Ah, wait, I see atomic64_xchg now. But that needs an
atomic64_t while I have a xen_ulong_t (which == 64 bits on ARM). This is
a kernel<->hypervisor ABI so I can't just change it to an atomic64_t. I
suppose I could cast (see below, untested) but that seems rather icky.

Ian.
