All 486+ CPUs support CMPXCHG, so remove the fallback 386 support
code.

Just like the per-CPU ones they had several
problems/shortcomings:
Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the asm()
operands, and the 2x64-bit version didn't have a memory clobber
while the 2x32-bit one did. The former allowed the compiler to
not recognize the need to re-load the data in case it had it
cached in some register, while the latter was overly
destructive.
The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
incorrect (the types of the pointed-to variables should be used
here, to make sure the respective old/new variable types are
compatible).
The __dummy/__junk variables were pointless, given that local
copies of the inputs already existed (and can hence be used for
discarded outputs).
The 32-bit variant of cmpxchg_double_local() referenced
cmpxchg16b_local().
At once also:
- change the return value type to what it really is: 'bool'
- unify 32- and 64-bit variants
- abstract out the common part of the 'normal' and 'local' variants

Everything that's actually common between 32 and 64-bit is moved into
cmpxchg.h.
xchg/cmpxchg will fail with a link error if they're passed an
unsupported size (which includes 64-bit args on 32-bit systems).

A simple implementation that only supports the word size and does not
have a fallback mode (would require a spinlock).
Add 32 and 64 bit support for cmpxchg_double. cmpxchg double uses
the cmpxchg8b or cmpxchg16b instruction on x86 processors to compare
and swap 2 machine words. This allows lockless algorithms to move more
context information through critical sections.
Set a flag CONFIG_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE to signal that support for double word
cmpxchg detection has been build into the kernel. Note that each subsystem
using cmpxchg_double has to implement a fall back mechanism as long as
we offer support for processors that do not implement cmpxchg_double.

We have two functions for doing exactly the same thing -- emulating
cmpxchg8b on 486 and older hardware -- with different calling
conventions, and yet doing the same thing. Drop the C version and use
the assembly version, via alternatives, for both the local and
non-local versions of cmpxchg8b.

Remove the __xg() hack to create a memory barrier near xchg and
cmpxchg; it has been there since 1.3.11 but should not be necessary
with "asm volatile" and a "memory" clobber, neither of which were
there in the original implementation.
However, we *should* make this a volatile reference.

Clean up and simplify set_64bit(). This code is quite old (1.3.11)
and contains a fair bit of auxilliary machinery that current versions
of gcc handle just fine automatically. Worse, the auxilliary
machinery can actually cause an unnecessary spill to memory.
Furthermore, the loading of the old value inside the loop in the
32-bit case is unnecessary: if the value doesn't match, the CMPXCHG8B
instruction will already have loaded the "new previous" value for us.
Clean up the comment, too, and remove page references to obsolete
versions of the Intel SDM.

xchg() and cmpxchg() modify their memory operands, not merely read
them. For some versions of gcc the "memory" clobber has apparently
dealt with the situation, but not for all.

cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code.
cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there,
but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking.
This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
all modern systems.
Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems
are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
