OK, I've merged patches 1-3.  Peter, if you ever want to edit atomic_ops,
just send it meward when you're done and I'll deal with any formatting
issues.

Silvio, if you wanted to take this further, the assoc_array code is
nicely decorated with kerneldoc comments; using those in the
documentation would be a nice thing.  There are some kerneldoc comments
for the atomic functions, but that seems rather more erratic.

Part 4 (firmware_class.c) is a bit off my turf, so I don't think I can
apply it.  From what I can tell looking at the history, Andrew Morton
might be a logical target for that patch.

Thanks,

jon
