Hi folks,
Any more comments on this patch (store immediate only)?
I need more time to add XADD (I'm supposed everyone agrees it is equivalent to atomic_add). However, this one is irrelevant to XADD, so we may be able to apply it first?
Thanks, Yang

Wait a second, we're both talking rubbish here :) The STR (immediate) form is referring to the addressing mode, whereas this patch wants to store an immediate value to memory, which does need moving to a register first.
Yes, the immediate means immediate offset for addressing index. Doesn't mean to store immediate to memory.
I don't think any load-store architecture has store immediate instruction.
Indeed. Sorry for the noise.
Somehow Will caught a whiff of whatever I was smoking then :)
