x86[-64]:Remove 'volatile' from atomic_t
Any code that relies on the volatile would be a bug waiting to happen anyway. Don't encourage people to think that putting 'volatile' on data structures somehow fixes problems. We should always use proper locking (and other serialization) techniques. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
