I think you should drop the ;

Looks like pagefault_() magic is only required for futex_atomic_op_inuser. So
this should be fine (and arc seems to be the only arch left that has in in
_inatomic).

Not sure if you want to change the comment:

/* Compare-xchg with pagefaults disabled.
 *  Notes:
 *      -Best-Effort: Exchg happens only if compare succeeds.

Maybe something like "Compare-xchg: pagefaults have to be disabled by the
caller"

Looks sane to me.
