OK, thanks for looking so deeply into this. Sorry it was such a mess, I
thought I included a note somewhere that this all needed to be redone -- I just
wanted to get a v2 out first as that split all the drivers out. I've went
ahead and completely rewrote atomic.h using your suggestions in a slightly
modified way. It includes

* _relaxed, _acquire, and _release versions of everything via a bunch of macros.
* What I believe to be correct aqrl bits on every op.
* 64-bit and 32-bit atomics (as opposed to just copying everything)

I didn't implement try_cmpxchg yet. I'm going to go ahead and sort through our
memory barriers, look at the few remaining CR comments from our v2, and then
submit a v3 patch set.

I'm only replying to this message, but I believe I'll have taken into account
all your comments for the v3.

Thanks, again, for your time!
