[LV] Back to the VAX: bitops

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Hi!

Finally, my move is mostly finished and I've started to look at the
VAXen again.  I'm currently looking at <asm/bitops.h>, which should
get a touch-up to use the newly defined generic functions in
<asm-generic/bitops/*>.

Was there a specific reason for this:

/* Supposed to not be atomic.  */
static __inline__ void __set_bit(int nr, volatile void *addr)
{
        __asm__(
        "       bbss    %1, %0, 2f              \n"
        "2:                                     \n"
        : "=m" (ADDR)
        : "ir" (nr));
}

/* Supposed to be atomic.  */
static __inline__ void set_bit(int nr, volatile void *addr)
{
        __asm__ __volatile__(
        "       bbss    %1, %0, 1f              \n"
        "1:                                     \n"
        : "=m" (ADDR)
        : "ir" (nr));
}


In both cases, bbss was chosen, but I guess bbssi would have been more
correct for set_bit()?

MfG, JBG
