The only atomicity changes this introduces is that the gang pagecache lookup functions now behave as if they are implemented with multiple find_get_page calls, rather than operating on a snapshot of the pages. In practice, this atomicity guarantee is not used anyway, and it is difficult to see how it could be. Gang pagecache lookups are designed to replace individual lookups, so these semantics are natural.
