the performance data show in another email.
LKP reported the arm6 has a bug on this patchset, since it has no cmpxchgb
solution, so maybe let's fallback to cmpxchg on it.

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] armv6: fix armv6 build issue
Arm v6 can not simulate cmpxchg1 func, so we have to use cmpxchg4 on it.
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: mm/page_alloc.o: in function `set_pfnblock_flags_mask':
(.text+0x32b4): undefined reference to `__bad_cmpxchg'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: (.text+0x32e0): undefined reference to `__bad_cmpxchg'

`hw_atl_b0_get_mac_temp':
