ARM: 8443/1: Adding support for atomic half word exchange
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since support for half-word atomic exchange was not there and Qspinlock
on ARM requires it, modified __xchg() to add support for that as well.
ARMv6 and lower does not support ldrex{b,h} so, added a guard code to
prevent build breaks.
