This implements kernel-level atomic rollback built on top of gUSA,
as an alternative non-IRQ based atomicity method. This is generally
a faster method for platforms that are lacking the LL/SC pairs that
SH-4A and later use, and is only supportable on legacy cores.

We have a few different ways to do the atomic operations, so split
them out in to different headers rather than bloating atomic.h.
Kernelspace gUSA will take this up to a third implementation.

gcc4 gets a bit pissy about the outputs:
include/asm/atomic.h: In function 'atomic_add':
include/asm/atomic.h:37: error: invalid lvalue in asm statement
include/asm/atomic.h:30: error: invalid lvalue in asm output 1
...
this ended up being a thinko anyways, so just fix it up.
Verified for proper behaviour with the older toolchains, too.

We had quite a bit of whitespace damage, clean most of it up..

add atomic_xchg() to all the architectures. Needed by the new mutex code.

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.
The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.
This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.
Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

Introduce an atomic_inc_not_zero operation. Make this a special case of
atomic_add_unless because lockless pagecache actually wants
atomic_inc_not_negativeone due to its offset refcount.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
