Make use of the interlocked-access facility 1 that got added with the z196 architecure. This facilility added new instructions which can atomically update a storage location without a compare-and-swap loop. E.g. setting a bit within a "long" can be done with a single instruction. The size of the kernel image gets ~30kb smaller. Considering that there are appr. 1900 bitops call sites this means that each one saves about 15-16 bytes per call site which is expected.
