Hi Dave,

I've used the word "Module" because the <asm/atomic.h> and
<asm/bitops.h> header files were not designed for use in userspace, and
would fail to compile on some architectures while silently giving non-
atomic behavior on others. The C compiler provides its own atomic built-
in functions that are suitable for use in userspace programs instead.

You can refer to discussion on lklm at http://marc.info/?l=linux-
kernel&m=115299997829268&w=2

I'm changing status to 'Invalid' because those headers won't be back in
linux-libc-dev

Thanks again for your time and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in
the future.

** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
