[PATCH] [x86] Move cmpxchg fallbacks to a generic place

2008-08-18 Thread Thomas Petazzoni
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c defines a few fallback functions (cmpxchg_*()) that are used when the CPU doesn't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64 natively. However, while defined in an Intel-specific file, these functions are also used for CPUs from other vendors when they don't support cmpxchg
