Up until this point the LEON kconfig option is largely passive.

All of the sparc_cpu_type logic drives what parts of the kernel are
used based upon the run-time detected cpu type.

But with this change, it completely breaks the 32-bit sparc kernel
on any non-Leon processor.

I wish you would reconsider this approach, and instead do hardcoded
assembler instruction opcodes to use "casa" in assembler, and run
time detect CAS support in the 32-bit cpu.

Thank you.
