[PATCH v3] arm: Adding support for atomic half word exchange

[Sarbojit Ganguly]

Hello Will,

Thank you so much for your patience. My sincere apologies with the issues with
formatting. I have taken care of them and hope now things are ok.

- Included patchesATarm.linux.org.uk.
- Removed the changelog from commit message.
- Moved the patch to "superseded" in patch system.
- Corrected the truncated Signed-off line.

KernelVersion: 4.3-rc4

Since support for half-word atomic exchange was not there and Qspinlock on ARM
requires it, modified __xchg() to add support for that as well. ARMv6 and lower
does not support ldrex{b,h} so, added a guard code to prevent build breaks.

There are some problems with the version in the patch system[1]:

  (1) You still have the changelog in the commit message (I asked you to
      remove this last time).

  (2) The commit message isn't line-wrapper appropriately

  (3) Your Signed-off-by line is truncated

The patch system does actually support git, so you can add:

  KernelVersion: 4.3-rc4

or whatever kernel you based your patch on somewhere after your SoB but
before the diff and then mail it to patchesATarm.linux.org.uk. You
probably also want to move the current patch to "superseded" so Russell
doesn't end up with two copies.

The commit message is everything above the "---" line.  It starts
with the subject line, a blank line, and then "Hello Will,".

I'll fix up the commit message this time, but please take note for
future patches.

You're also the first one to send a patch where the body _inside_ the
base64 container has CRLF line endings...

Thanks. Also, you don't need to continually prepend "Re: " to your mail
subject every time you reply and/or update the patch. Doing so breaks
the email threading for everybody else.

This looks good to me now:

The part of your text up until here doesn't belong in the commit message.
You'll also need to send this to Russell's patch system.
