i'll have to re-read the thread myself, but i thought the conclusions
of that thread were implemented in the Blackfin tree now

so if the conclusion was we needed barriers in the atomic funcs, and
we don't have them now, then that probably is the way to go instead
... but i'll have to review things in depth later
