Thank you, John!
In my reshuffling, I associated the arch/sh/Kconfig change with the
cmpxchg.h changes, as shown below. The idea is to show all the changes
for a given architecture in one place. I kept your Acked-by, but please
let me know if this is in any way problematic.
Thanx, Paul

sh: Emulate two-byte cmpxchg
SH has no byte or halfword atomic memory operations, so the __cmpxchg()
switch routes case 1 through cmpxchg_emu_u8() and lets case 2 fall
through to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer(), which is declared but
never defined, so a two-byte cmpxchg() fails at link time. Route case
2 through the new cmpxchg_emu_u16(), which takes the old and new
values as unsigned long, so the (unsigned long) casts move off the
call and into _old_ and _new_ declarations that type check the old
and new arguments against *ptr through (unsigned long)(0 ? *ptr : _o_),
the idiom David Laight suggested, so cmpxchg(&p, 4, 5) no longer
compiles silently.
