Yup.

>From include/linux/types.h:
	#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
	typedef struct {
        	long counter;
	} atomic64_t;
	#endif

>From include/asm-generic/atomic64.h:
	typedef struct {
        	long long counter;
	} atomic64_t;

and for non-x86, there is lib/atomic64.c:
	atomic64_add_return()
which is in C while the x86_64 version is in ASM.
