Instead of adding it separately to every architecture. that's what asm-generic is for. if the arch isnt using it, it's either because the arch needs to convert to it, or they're using SMP and asm-generic doesnt yet support that for atomic.h. for example, the Blackfin port only needed updating for the SMP case. in the non-SMP case, we're getting the def from asm-generic/atomic.h. -mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-alpha" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
