It gets in the way of cleaning things up and is a maintenance

  *  - For !LLSC, cmpxchg() needs to use that lock (see above) and there is lot
  *    of  kernel code which calls xchg()/cmpxchg() on same data (see llist.h)
  *    Hence xchg() needs to follow same locking rules.

- * Technically the lock is also needed for UP (boils down to irq save/restore)
- * but we can cheat a bit since cmpxchg() atomic_ops_lock() would cause irqs to

- * Other way around, xchg is one instruction anyways, so can't be interrupted
- * as such
