No, atomic_t wraps an int inside a struct to prevent direct usage, e.g.

virt/kvm/kvm_main.c: In function ‘kvm_memslot_delete’:
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:885:22: error: invalid operands to binary >= (have ‘atomic_t {aka struct <anonymous>}’ and ‘int’)
  if (slots->lru_slot >= slots->used_slots)
                      ^
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:886:19: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘atomic_t {aka struct <anonymous>}’ from type ‘int’
   slots->lru_slot = 0;


Buy yeah, the compiler barrier associated with atomic_read() isn't
necessary.

I'd prefer to go with the more obviously correct version.  This code will
rarely trigger, e.g. larger slots have lower indices and are more likely to
be the LRU (by virtue of being the biggest), and dynamic memslot deletion
is usually for relatively small ranges that are being remapped by the guest.
