If there is consensus on changing this, we probably also want to do some other steps: - Change the Documentation/atomic_ops.txt file accordingly - split up the series per architecture (I don't think there are any interdependencies) - For the architectures on which the definition changes (at least x86 and ARM), do some more sanity checks and see if there are noticeable changes in object code, and if so whether it looks better or worse (I'm guessing it will be better if anything) - See which architectures can still get converted to using the asm-generic headers instead of providing their own, I think at least for the nonatomic ones, there are a couple.
