[PATCH] x86_64: avoid some atomic operations during address space destruction

Browse source 
Any architecture that has hardware updated A/D bits that require
synchronization against other processors during PTE operations can benefit
from doing non-atomic PTE updates during address space destruction.
Originally done on i386, now ported to x86_64.

Doing a read/write pair instead of an xchg() operation saves the implicit
lock, which turns out to be a big win on 32-bit (esp w PAE).
