MIPS: Select CONFIG_ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF for MIPS64
On MIPS64 we have spinlocks that are 32b in size and an efficient
cmpxchg64 implementation, so we qualify to make use of cmpxchg backed
lockrefs. Select the ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF Kconfig symbol and provide
a trivial implementation of arch_spin_value_unlocked to satisfy the
lockref code.
Using Linus' simple testcase from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/77466 on a dual core
system with an in-development MIPS64 CPU running on FPGA I see around an
8% gain:
