I meant

 asm long atomic_decrement_strong( register long * pw ) {

      <load-reserved>
      <add -1>
      <branch if zero to acquire>
      {lw}sync

    loop1:

      <store-conditional>
      <branch if !failed to done>

    loop2:

      <load-reserved>
      <add -1>
      <branch if !zero to loop1>

    acquire:

      <store-conditional>
      <branch if failed to loop2>
      isync

    done:

      <...>
  }
