Could you just make the "atomic_read()" and "atomic_set()" functions be inline functions instead?

That way you get nice compiler warnings when you pass the wrong kind of object around. So

        static void atomic_set(atomic_t *p, int value)
        {
                *(volatile int *)&p->value = value;
        }

        static int atomic_read(atomic_t *p)
        {
                return *(volatile int *)&p->value;
        }

etc...

I'll do this for the whole patchset.  Stay tuned for the resubmit.
