Implement atomic logic ops -- atomic_{or,xor,and}.
These will replace the atomic_{set,clear}_mask functions that are
available on some archs.

Rewrite generic atomic support to only require cmpxchg(), generate all
other primitives from that.
Furthermore reduce the endless repetition for all these primitives to
a few CPP macros. This way we get more for less lines.

Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but
we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem.
This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed
spinlocks to provide atomicity. For each atomic operation, the address
of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16
spinlocks. That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the
operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock.
On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable
interrupts around each operation. In fact gcc eliminates the whole
atomic64_lock variable as well.
