+/* sync_bitops functions are equivalent to the SMP implementation of the
+ * original functions, independently from CONFIG_SMP being defined.
+ *
+ * We need them because _set_bit etc are not SMP safe if !CONFIG_SMP. But
+ * under Xen you might be communicating with a completely external entity
+ * who might be on another CPU (e.g. two uniprocessor guests communicating
+ * via event channels and grant tables). So we need a variant of the bit
+ * ops which are SMP safe even on a UP kernel.
