FYI, that's what we do in FreeBSD also.  The only difference after your
patch is that we use +m for GLptr.

#define ACPI_ACQUIRE_GLOBAL_LOCK(GLptr, Acq) \
    do { \
        asm("1:     movl %1,%%eax;" \
            "movl   %%eax,%%edx;" \
            "andl   %2,%%edx;" \
            "btsl   $0x1,%%edx;" \
            "adcl   $0x0,%%edx;" \
            "lock;  cmpxchgl %%edx,%1;" \
            "jnz    1b;" \
            "cmpb   $0x3,%%dl;" \
            "sbbl   %%eax,%%eax" \
            : "=a" (Acq), "+m" (GLptr) : "i" (~1L) : "edx"); \
    } while(0)
