Regarding the __xxx ops i'm on two minds really. If there's a
significant architecture that really cannot live without them (if
it does not have the proper machine instructions _and_ local irq
disabling is unreasonably expensive) then i guess we could (and
should) add them.

Otherwise we should just try to be as simple as possible.
