This is not correct, see for instance set_bit():

static __always_inline void
set_bit(long nr, volatile unsigned long *addr)
{
	if (IS_IMMEDIATE(nr)) {
		asm volatile(LOCK_PREFIX "orb %1,%0"
			: CONST_MASK_ADDR(nr, addr)
			: "iq" ((u8)CONST_MASK(nr))
			: "memory");
	} else {
		asm volatile(LOCK_PREFIX __ASM_SIZE(bts) " %1,%0"
			: : RLONG_ADDR(addr), "Ir" (nr) : "memory");
	}
}

That results in:

	LOCK BTSQ nr, (addr)

when @nr is not an immediate.
