        NB: The most natural thing would be to write the increment/decrement
        operators along the following lines:
        
        __asm__ __volatile__(
                "1: ldl_l %0,%1 \n"
                "addl %0,1,%0 \n"
                "stl_c %0,%1 \n"
                "beq %0,1b\n"
                : "=&b" (tmp)
                : "m" (value)
                : "cc"
        );
        
        However according to the comments on the HP website and matching
        comments in the Linux kernel sources this defies branch prediction,
        as the cpu assumes that backward branches are always taken; so
        instead copy the trick from the Linux kernel, introduce a forward
        branch and back again.
        
        I have, however, had a hard time measuring the difference between
        the two versions in microbenchmarks -- I am leaving it in nevertheless
        as it apparently does not hurt either.
