Subject: Re: [PATCH -mm -v5] Separate atomic_t declaration from asm/atomic.h into asm/atomic_def.h

Here's an updated patch which uses linux/types.h as suggested by Roman.
I started fresh rather than use the original patch.  I compared the
diffstats afterwards and I caught one architecture the original didn't
(parisc), plus the original was creating files in include/asm-*/ even
for architectures that had migrated to arch/*/include/asm.

---

The atomic_t type cannot currently be used in some header files because it
would create an include loop with asm/atomic.h.  Move the type definition
to linux/types.h to break the loop.
