Hi Peter,

This series continues the arch atomic rework started with the smp_mb__
interface cleanup.

In this series we (mostly) reduce the atomic implementations by eliminating
repetition through use of CPP macros.

A future series will use these macros to implement more atomic ops. With these
macros we can end up with more atomic ops while the total LoC still shrinks.

Furthermore, rewrite the asm-generic/atomic implementations to require less and
provide more.

This series is compile tested on a number of archs, but only boot tested on
x86_64.

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...

Cheers,

Will
