The quick fix is to move the RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM and
RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM defines from Kconfig.cpu to Kconfig.i386.

Looking at this closer, the 64-bit code has been using the generic
spinlock-based implementation, while the 32-bit code uses an optimized
version on all but true 386 cpus. The 64-bit code should be adapted to
use the optimized version at some point.
