This thread is pointless.  The next patch converts it to atomic64_t
and the lock is removed anyway.  I think Eric's argument makes sense
given that atomic64_t translates into irqsave spinlock (it has to) in
generic 32bit implementation.  That said, this is all a moot point.
We might as well simply drop this patch and directly convert to
atomic64_t.

Thanks.
