[patch 1/2] i386: use asm() like the other atomic operations already do.

As Segher pointed out, inline asm is better than the volatile casting all over
the place. From the PowerPC patch description:
 Also use inline functions instead of macros; this actually
 improves code generation (some code becomes a little smaller,
 probably because of improved alias information -- just a few
 hundred bytes total on a default kernel build, nothing shocking).

My config with march=pentium-m and gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2):
  text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
