On second thoughts I think it feels right (i.e. it would be roughly
consistent with the level of abstraction of the rest of this macro API)
to go further and just have two macros BPF_ATOMIC64 and BPF_ATOMIC32:

	/*
	 * Atomic ALU ops:
	 *
	 *   BPF_ADD                  *(uint *) (dst_reg + off16) += src_reg
	 *   BPF_AND                  *(uint *) (dst_reg + off16) &= src_reg
	 *   BPF_OR                   *(uint *) (dst_reg + off16) |= src_reg
	 *   BPF_XOR                  *(uint *) (dst_reg + off16) ^= src_reg
	 *   BPF_ADD | BPF_FETCH      src_reg = atomic_fetch_add(dst_reg + off16, src_reg);
	 *   BPF_AND | BPF_FETCH      src_reg = atomic_fetch_and(dst_reg + off16, src_reg);
	 *   BPF_OR | BPF_FETCH       src_reg = atomic_fetch_or(dst_reg + off16, src_reg);
	 *   BPF_XOR | BPF_FETCH      src_reg = atomic_fetch_xor(dst_reg + off16, src_reg);
	 *   BPF_XCHG                 src_reg = atomic_xchg(dst_reg + off16, src_reg)
	 *   BPF_CMPXCHG              r0 = atomic_cmpxchg(dst_reg + off16, r0, src_reg)
	 */

	#define BPF_ATOMIC64(OP, DST, SRC, OFF)                         \
		((struct bpf_insn) {                                    \
			.code  = BPF_STX | BPF_DW | BPF_ATOMIC,         \
			.dst_reg = DST,                                 \
			.src_reg = SRC,                                 \
			.off   = OFF,                                   \
			.imm   = OP })

	#define BPF_ATOMIC32(OP, DST, SRC, OFF)                         \
		((struct bpf_insn) {                                    \
			.code  = BPF_STX | BPF_W | BPF_ATOMIC,         \
			.dst_reg = DST,                                 \
			.src_reg = SRC,                                 \
			.off   = OFF,                                   \
			.imm   = OP })

The downside compared to what's currently in the patchset is that the
user can write e.g. BPF_ATOMIC64(BPF_SUB, BPF_REG_1, BPF_REG_2, 0) and
it will compile. On the other hand they'll get a pretty clear
"BPF_ATOMIC uses invalid atomic opcode 10" when they try to load the
prog, and the valid atomic ops are clearly listed in Documentation as
well as the comments here.
