Can we add support for 1-byte and 2-byte cmpxchg, and for using cmpxchg8b to handle
8-byte operations in 32-bit mode? Support for all the flavors (except 16-byte)
would allow KVM to use this in an emulator path that currently kmaps the target.
I'd be more than happy to help test the result.

Thanks!
