When the assembler began checking this constraint we had to fix it in a
lot of places. I used this:
__asm__ __volatile__ ("swp %0, %1, [%2]"
: "=&r,&r" (result)
: "r,0" (newvalue), "r,r" (mem) : "memory");
The second operand can be the same as the first operand, or different,
but the third operand can never match the first operand.
