The generic functions have no effect on atomicity, but using them does
make it easier to find the non-atomic cases.

I'm not sure that having host drivers do their own locking is the best
approach. That's a recipe for more cleanups. It's a common enough
issue that I think it's better if we have locking done in 1 place.
Then host drivers can simply say if they need locking or not via some
bus flag.
