The IOREQ code is using cmpxchg() with 64-bit value. At the moment, this
is x86 code, but there is plan to make it common.

To cater 32-bit arch, introduce two new helpers to deal with 64-bit
cmpxchg.

The Arm 32-bit implementation of cmpxchg64() is based on the __cmpxchg64
in Linux v5.8 (arch/arm/include/asm/cmpxchg.h).

Why do you need to introduce an explicitly sized version of cmpxchg
for 64bit values?

There's no cmpxchg{8,16,32}, so I would expect cmpxchg64 to just be
handled by cmpxchg detecting the size of the parameter passed to the
function.
That works quite well for 64-bit arches. However, for 32-bit, you would need to take some detour so 32-bit and 64-bit can cohabit (you cannot simply replace unsigned long with uint64_t).

I couldn't come up with a way to do it. Do you have any suggestion?

Cheers,
