What's the status on this series? I'm currently fleshing out an extension to the atomic API that allows more flexible acquire/release semantics and it doesn't make sense for me to copy-paste a bunch of code when I could build it on top of this instead. Also, do you have any other patches pending in this area? I've lost track...
