this implementation has been already patched 6 times (not including this one)
since it was originally introduced in Dec 12, including compilation and logic
fixes as can be seen by :

it was meant to fix some sort of bug on i386 because it wasn't atomic but
with so many changes I am not sure if what it was meant to do has been really
preserved, so I think it would be better if anyone with more experience and a
better understanding of this patch could  sheed some light on this.
