<Ping>

Since 16 bit half word exchange was not there and MCS based qspinlock by Waiman's xchg_tail() requires an atomic exchange on a half word, here is a small modification to __xchg() code to support the exchange.
ARMv6 and lower does not have support for LDREXH, so we need to make sure things do not break when we're compiling on ARMv6.
