[PATCH] x86: cmpxchg improvements



This adjusts i386's cmpxchg patterns so that

- for word and long cmpxchg-es the compiler can utilize all possible
  registers

- cmpxchg8b gets disabled when the minimum specified hardware architectur
  doesn't support it (like was already happening for the byte, word, and
  long ones).
