Why is this x86 only code?
The code is making use of the fact that byte write is atomic which is
true in x86 and probably in a few other architectures. I could pull
these codes into the generic qspinlock.c file and set a flag in the
asm header file to activate it if it is what you want.

BTW, I also assume that 8-bit and 16-bit cmpxchg() and xchg() are available.
