  Hi,

Below is my very first attempt to write inline assembler, for atomic
updates of PAE pagetable entries using cmpxchg8b.  It builds, but is
completely untested otherwise as I don't have a PAE-enabled guest kernel
yet ...

Can someone with more experience than me please have a look at it?

Thanks,

  Gerd
