[PATCH]: Improve atomic.h robustness

[Joshua Kinard <kumba@gentoo.org>]

I've maintained this patch, originally from Thiemo Seufer in 2004, for a
really long time, but I think it's time for it to get a look at for possible
inclusion.  I have had no problems with it across various SGI systems over
the years.

To quote the post here:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2004-12/msg00000.html

"the atomic functions use so far memory references for the inline
assembler to access the semaphore. This can lead to additional
instructions in the ll/sc loop, because newer compilers don't
expand the memory reference any more but leave it to the assembler.

The appended patch uses registers instead, and makes the ll/sc
arguments more explicit. In some cases it will lead also to better
register scheduling because the register isn't bound to an output
any more."
