rtems atomic operation (bit set_bit and test_and_clear_bit)

[Jiri Gaisler]

CASA is a Sparc V9 instruction that has been ported to the LEON-3 V8 cpu.
Not all LEON-3 devices have the CASA, check the manual or configuration for
your device.

It works well implement in assembler compile for v9 move the resulting instructions as data into the ordinary code compiling as v8...read sparc v9 spec for casa set the memory access bits correctly forgot details now...  If not casa if think you use ldstub..
