While you're thrashing all that stuff, have you thought about adding generic support for the atomic_*_mask functions? Only eight of almost 30 arches actually implement them, which makes them worthless for portable drivers. The same approach you're using now with other bitops will work equally well, or be just as broken, depending on the arch in question :-)
