There is no need for asm_inline, ALT_OUTPUT_SP() macro and "S" input 
(that was used to force the compiler to put the memory argument into 
%esi register):

	asm qual ("cmpxchg8b " __percpu_arg([var])		\
		: "+m" (__my_cpu_var(_var)),			\
		  "+a" (old__.low), "+d" (old__.high)		\
		: "b" (new__.low), "c" (new__.high)		\
		: "memory");					\

Same here:

	asm qual ("cmpxchg8b " __percpu_arg([var])		\
		CC_SET(z)					\
		: CC_OUT(z) (success),				\
		  [var] "+m" (__my_cpu_var(_var)),		\
		  "+a" (old__.low), "+d" (old__.high)		\
		: "b" (new__.low), "c" (new__.high)		\
		: "memory");					\

Please see the attached patch that implements the change.

Thanks! I've turned this into a commit with your SOB, replacing my
