*	x86: Use asm goto to implement better modify_and_test() functions	Peter Zijlstra	2013-09-25
	Linus suggested using asm goto to get rid of the typical SETcc + TEST instruction pair -- which also clobbers an extra register -- for our typical modify_and_test() functions. Because asm goto doesn't allow output fields it has to include an unconditinal memory clobber when it changes a memory variable to force a reload. Luckily all atomic ops already imply a compiler barrier to go along with their memory barrier semantics.
