Understood. From my side, I don't have strong feelings for either way.
But since powerpc gets affected with the new logic, so I'm glad I could
help.

Thanks ;-)

Do you have the commit at any branch in tip tree? I could pull it and
cross-build and check the assembly code of lib/atomic64_test.c, that way
I could verify whether we mess something up.

Yep!
