Surely we wouldn't want to define a new API that can't be supported on all 32-bit platforms, no? Perhaps writeq_nonatomic()?
I'm saying we define writeq() to be implementable as two 32-bit transations, that will be the API.
I think adding some weird new writeq_nonatomic() will just create more confusion than it saves. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
