Oh wait, that's stupid, it will invalidate the lock and fail the store and make it try again, so you could try and combine the load, but you'd need an extra shift instruction instead of an extra load. Not sure that's a valid trade-off.. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
