[PATCH] __up_read and gcc-3.0

[Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>]

Hi Alan,
  can you apply this patch to next 2.4.4-acX ? This fixes problem with
gcc3.0 (20010426) unable to compile this under some conditions. As
__up_write() uses same code ("i".... instead of tmp variable), I think
that you should apply this. It can cause slower code, as gcc cannot
move "movl -RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS,%edx" away from "xadd" anymore,
but as "lock xadd" is slow anyway, it should not matter.

  I looked at generated code in cases where it originally failed, and
generated code looks OK to me.
					Thanks,
