I have been double checking this now and I think for x86, all the changes in asm-generic/atomic64.h are not needed. 
X86 overrides them with arch. specific implementations in include/asm/atomic64_64.h and include/asm/atomic64_32.h

Takahiro, you have been looking into arm. Are the above ones used in any way in arm or can we simply get rid of the whole bundle of changes?

Best Regards,
Elena.
