*gulp*! I was slightly worried about this from the GNU docs:

 `The operand of typeof is evaluated for its side effects if and only if
  it is an expression of variably modified type or the name of such a
  type.'

but since none of our atomic functions return "variably modified types",
then there shouldn't be anything to worry about. It also means I can
slightly simplify the xchg/cmpxchg wrappers where we were previously
passing through the typeof(*ptr).

Incremental diff below (I'll post a v5 when the build testing comes back
clean).
