Indeed, thanks for the note!
Will add this in my v3.

For ARC I'd like this fix to be back-ported starting
from v4.8 where we added support of "native" atomic64_t, see commit
ce6365270ecd (" ARCv2: Implement atomic64 based on LLOCKD/SCONDD instructions").

What about m68k, do you have any preference of earliest kernel version
where this fix might be useful?
