to the memory. The biggest effect is that we now correctly tell the
compiler that these functions change the memory that these functions
modify.

in the arm __swp() and sparc64 casa() and casax() functions is actually
being used as an input and output and not just the value of the register
that points to the memory location. This was the underlying source of
the mbuf refcount problems on sparc64 a while back. For arm this should be
a nop because __swp() has a constraint to clobber all memory which can
probably be removed now.
