atomic64_add_unless must return 1 if it perfomed the add and 0 otherwise.
The implementation did the opposite thing.

This patch replaces atomic64_32.c with two assembly implementations,
one for 386/486 machines using pushf/cli/popf and one for 586+ machines
using cmpxchg8b.
The cmpxchg8b implementation provides the following advantages over the
current one:
1. Implements atomic64_add_unless, atomic64_dec_if_positive and
atomic64_inc_not_zero
2. Uses the ZF flag changed by cmpxchg8b instead of doing a comparison
3. Uses custom register calling conventions that reduce or eliminate
register moves to suit cmpxchg8b
4. Reads the initial value instead of using cmpxchg8b to do that.
Currently we use lock xaddl and movl, which seems the fastest.
5. Does not use the lock prefix for atomic64_set
64-bit writes are already atomic, so we don't need that.
We still need it for atomic64_read to avoid restoring a value
changed in the meantime.
6. Allocates registers as well or better than gcc
The 386 implementation provides support for 386 and 486 machines.
386/486 SMP is not supported (we dropped it), but such support can be
added easily if desired.
A pure assembly implementation is required due to the custom calling
conventions, and desire to use %ebp in atomic64_add_return (we need
7 registers...), as well as the ability to use pushf/popf in the 386
code without an intermediate pop/push.
The parameter names are changed to match the convention in atomic_64.h
Changes in v3 (due to rebasing to tip/x86/asm):
- Patches atomic64_32.h instead of atomic_32.h
- Uses the CALL alternative mechanism from commit
1b1d925818
Changes in v2:
- Merged 386 and cx8 support in the same patch
- 386 support now done in assembly, C code no longer used at all
- cmpxchg64 is used for atomic64_cmpxchg
- stop using macros, use one-line inline functions instead
- miscellanous changes and improvements
