I don't see any atomic64_t issues in the ARM, PowerPC or MIPS builds --
which doesn't mean they're not there, but if so they're obscured by
other errors. m68k is missing #include <asm-generic/atomic64.h> in
<asm/atomic.h>, and SPARC64 and S390 seems to have issues due to missing
<linux/kernel.h> in atomic64_test.c; the latter is indeed a bug in the
test and yes, should be fixed.
