Is having atomic64_t mandatory now?

According to the allmodconfig build logs
(http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/matrix/),
several architectures (at least m68k and mips) don't have it.
Furthermore, the test fails to compile on a few architectures that do have it
(parisc, s390, sh, ...).

It's a pity this wasn't raised/resolved between its detection in linux-next and
before it entered mainline...
