I'd say the sequence is: 1. create an linux/atomic.h the #include's asm/atomic.h 2. convert all asm/atomic.h to use linux/atomic.h 3. move common code to linux/atomic.h There should be a small amount of time between 2. and 3. because doing all three steps at the same time in both Linus' tree and -mm sounds like a hard task. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
