If the generic implementation is needed only on !SMP systems, that
could work.  The architectures I would be worried about include
powerpc and ia64, which I believe support 32-bit SMP builds.
32-bit powerpc doesn't have 64-bit atomic operations and does support
SMP.

What about ARM?  I thought they had 32-bit SMP these days as well.
Some of Steve Hemminger's recent suggestions in this thread seem to me
to avoid this whole issue nicely.  But we will see!  ;-)
