They're copied raw to userspace now and casted to atomic_t for all
modifications except for sparc32, arm, h8300, m68k, and m68knommu,
where it's still equivalent (the atomic operations just do normal
arithmetic under hashed locks or with ll/sc or other easily zennable
asm), so there is no change. Or did I miss an arch?
