I feel like I'm missing some context.

What are the actual end user visible effects of this series?  Is there a
measurable decrease in perf overhead?  Why go to all this trouble for
perf?  Who else will use local_try_cmpxchg()?

I'm all for improving things, and perf is an important user.  But, if
the goal here is improving performance, it would be nice to see at least
a stab at quantifying the performance delta.
