It first does a BUG_ON() if it's not naturally aligned (because that wouldn't be atomic), and then it has code for page crossing! What a TOTAL PIECE OF SH*T! Hint: - if it's naturally aligned, it couldn't be page crossing ANYWAY - and if it was a page-crosser, it sure as hell couldn't be atomic! The code is just crap, crap, crap. It needs to be rewritten from scratch. I'll have a patch soonish.
