Fair enough; I think we should restrict to native word sizes same as we
do for atomics.
Something like so perhaps:
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
#define __check_native_word(t) (sizeof(t) == 4 || sizeof(t) == 8)
#else
#define __check_native_word(t) (sizeof(t) == 4)
#endif
#define smp_store_release(p, v) \
do { \
BUILD_BUG_ON(!__check_native_word(p)); \
smp_mb(); \
ACCESS_ONCE(p) = (v); \
} while (0)

so something like:
asm volatile ("stlr %0, [%1]" : : "r" (v), "=Q" (p) : "memory");
?
My inline asm foo is horrid and I mostly get by with copy paste from a
semi similar existing form :/

A what? ;-)
