x86-64: support native xadd rwsem implementation
This one is much faster than the spinlock based fallback rwsem code, with certain artifical benchmarks having shown 300%+ improvement on threaded page faults etc. Again, note the 32767-thread limit here. So this really does need that whole "make rwsem_count_t be 64-bit and fix the BIAS values to match" extension on top of it, but that is conceptually a totally independent issue. NOT TESTED! The original patch that this all was based on were tested by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki, but maybe I screwed up something when I created the cleaned-up series, so caveat emptor.. Also note that it _may_ be a good idea to mark some more registers clobbered on x86-64 in the inline asms instead of saving/restoring them. They are inline functions, but they are only used in places where there are not a lot of live registers _anyway_, so doing for example the clobbers of %r8-%r11 in the asm wouldn't make the fast-path code any worse, and would make the slow-path code smaller. (Not that the slow-path really matters to that degree. Saving a few unnecessary registers is the _least_ of our problems when we hit the slow path. The instruction/cycle counting really only matters in the fast path).

1/*
2 * x86-64 rwsem wrappers
3 *
4 * This interfaces the inline asm code to the slow-path
5 * C routines. We need to save the call-clobbered regs
6 * that the asm does not mark as clobbered, and move the
7 * argument from %rax to %rdi.
8 *
9 * NOTE! We don't need to save %rax, because the functions
10 * will always return the semaphore pointer in %rax (which
11 * is also the input argument to these helpers)
12 *
13 * The following can clobber %rdx because the asm clobbers it:
14 * call_rwsem_down_write_failed
15 * call_rwsem_wake
16 * but %rdi, %rsi, %rcx, %r8-r11 always need saving.
