Here's a patch making x86_64 local_t to 64 bits like other 64 bit arches.

This keeps local_t unsigned long. (We can change it to signed value along with other arches later in one go I guess)

Why not just keep naming and structure of interfaces consistent with
atomic_t?

That would be signed and 32-bit. You then also have a local64_t.
