Sure, but you use a 64bit read/store in set_bit/clear_bit etc., right?
If yes then you can't use this unless you rewrite them to use 32bit store
- otherwise it will conflict with the atomic_t counter in the 64bit slot
which is not protected.
It will be protected by the same spinlock, look at how the
thing works :-)
