So my inclusion of ARM is correct...  Under some circumstances it will write
to the target word when it wouldn't actually make a change:

	static inline int
	____atomic_test_and_set_bit(unsigned int bit, volatile unsigned long *p)
	{
		unsigned long flags;
		unsigned int res;
		unsigned long mask = 1UL << (bit & 31);

		p += bit >> 5;

		raw_local_irq_save(flags);
		res = *p;
		*p = res | mask;
		raw_local_irq_restore(flags);

		return res & mask;
	}

Remember: *p is volatile.
