[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Claim atomic*_t maintainership

[Peter Zijlstra]

Since Will and me have rewritten and heavily extended the atomic*_t
infrastructure over the past few years, claim ownership of it.

We would also like to add Boqun as he helped out with PowerPC and has shown
good understanding of these bits.

We would still defer to architecture maintainers on implementation details, but
we'd take care of the interface and cross architecture semantics of the
primitives.

It might also be worth us having a shared tree for staging patches,
which we could feed into -tip like RCU does. I doubt we're going to be
handling huge volumes of code, but having a common development tree
surely makes sense.

Also, Boqun, we need to drag you into Europe to get your key signed :)

Thank you, Will ;-)

I will first try to reach out developers in China and ask for their
help on signatures.

Regards,
Boqun

MAINTAINERS: Claim atomic*_t maintainership

Since Will and me have rewritten and heavily extended the atomic*_t
infrastructure over the past few years, claim maintainership of it.

We would also like to add Boqun as he helped out with PowerPC and has shown
good understanding of these bits.

We would still defer to architecture maintainers on implementation
details, but we'd take care of the interface and cross architecture
semantics of the primitives.
