cmpxchg has the following code:

__typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o);
__typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n);

Unfortunately it makes gcc 4.0 store and load the variables to the stack.
Eg in atomic_dec_and_test we get:

  stw     r10,112(r1)
  stw     r9,116(r1)
  lwz     r9,112(r1)
  lwz     r0,116(r1)

x86 is just casting the values so do that instead. Also change __xchg*
and __cmpxchg* to take unsigned values, removing a few sign extensions.
