[PATCH] x86_64 : support atomic ops with 64 bits integer values

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>]

x86_64 add/sub atomic ops does not seems to accept integer values bigger
than 32 bits as immediates. Intel's add/sub documentation specifies they
have to be passed as registers.

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Machine-Constraints.html#Machine-Constraints

states :

e
    32-bit signed integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to fit that range (for immediate operands in sign-extending x86-64 instructions).
Z
    32-bit unsigned integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to fit that range (for immediate operands in zero-extending x86-64 instructions). 

Since add/sub does sign extension, using the "e" constraint seems appropriate.

It applies to 2.6.27-rc, 2.6.26, 2.6.25...
