Subject: [PATCH] x86: Code atomic[64]_read and atomic[64]_set in C not CPP

Occasionally we get bugs where atomic_read or atomic_set are used on
atomic64_t variables or vice versa.  These bugs don't generate
warnings on x86 because atomic_read and atomic_set are coded as macros
rather than C functions, so we don't get any type-checking on their
arguments; similarly for atomic64_read and atomic64_set in 64-bit
kernels.

This converts them to C functions so that the arguments are
type-checked and bugs like this will get caught more easily.
It also converts atomic_cmpxchg and atomic_xchg, and atomic64_cmpxchg
and atomic64_xchg on 64-bit, so we get type-checking on their
arguments too.

Compiling a typical 64-bit x86 config, this generates no new warnings,
and the vmlinux text is 86 bytes smaller.

I have no idea why the text gets smaller with this patch, sorry.

By the way, I noticed while I was doing this that atomic64_t is
unsigned on 32-bit x86 but signed on 64-bit x86.  Somebody might
like to make them consistent one day.
