This patch change non-atomic bitops,
add a if() condition to test it, before set/clear the bit.
so that we don't need dirty the cache line, if this bit
have been set or clear. On SMP system, dirty cache line will
need invalidate other processors cache line, this will have
some impact on SMP systems.

Care to fix the double space here while touching the code?

I think the more natural check here is:

	if ((~*p & mask) != 0)
		*p |= mask;

Might be a matter of taste, but this check is equivalent to

	*p != (*p | mask)

which is what you really want to test for. (Your check only has this
property for values of mask that have a single bit set, which is ok here
of course.)

This is already fine.

Here it would be:
