Fengguang is m68k the only place you are seeing build failures?

Exactly how I get a 64bit counter in that code path is not terribly
important. I picked an atomic64_t because it looked simple and cheap.

If this is limited to a couple of m68k sub-arches I will let you guys
finish fixing this up so people can depend on atomic64_t being
available. Otherwise it probably makes sense to go to with a different
abstraction.
