The overuse of atomics is horrific in what is being proposed. All the major architectures except powerpc (i386, x86-64, ia64, and sparc64) implement local_t. It would make far more sense to push the last few stragglers (which mostly seem to be uniprocessor) into writing the appropriate implementations. Perhaps it's time to add a #error in asm-generic/local.h? -ben -- "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to interrupt, but the police are here and they've asked us to stop the party."
