local_t: architecture independent extension
This series extena and standardises local_t operations on each architecture,
allowing a rich set of atomic operations to be done on per-cpu data with
minimal performance impact. On architectures where there seems to be no
difference between the SMP and UP operation (same memory barriers, same
LOCKing), local.h simply includes asm-generic/local.h, which removes
duplicated code from the current kernel tree.
