If it's acceptable, please apply.
Hide evtchn_upcall_pending test-and-set accesses behind a wrapper.

It would probably be better to move the TAS of the upcall_pending flag
into evtchn_notify(). Avoids expanding the arch-specific interface
further.
We have avoided adding gcc extensions to core public header files as it
prevents easy use of the header files by some other projects (e.g.,
solaris port, I believe). You should instead add a suitable
BUILD_BUG_ON() in arch/ppc -- in any case, if field offsets change in
future you break backward compatibility, even if new field alignment
does happen to still be 'okay' in that one case.
