Add a compile option that allows code to use it, and add support in
cmpxchg and xchg 8 and 16 bit values.
Do you mean lharx ? Because lwarx exists on all powerpcs I think.

Hmm, lwarx exists since original Power AFAIR, s/lwarx/lharx/ perhaps?
Same for the title of the patch and the CONFIG variable.

Add a compile option that allows code to use it, and add support in
cmpxchg and xchg 8 and 16 bit values.
