 [I must have missed the original mail, sorry.]

 It sucks performance-wise with no visible gain, so I don't think it is
really desireable.  Since the no-ll/sc case is handled correctly, I see no
reason to remove the code.  The kernel interface is awkward, I admit, but
it works (and is even handcoded in assembly for performance gain) and we
may able to develop a better one eventually.
