Just to check, I assume both GCC and Clang are happy with this applied?

I recall that (historically at least) clang would warn about size mismatches
for inline assembly and would sometimes require more care. I don't see anythign
for which that would matter, but I just want to check.

It might be worth nothing that __ll_sc__cmpxchg_case_##name##sz already uses
the same constraint:

	[v] "+Q" (*(u##sz *)ptr

... since that explains why we only need to update the LSE form and not the
LL/SC form, and indicates that this is unlikely to be problematic.

Either way:
