[PATCH roland/arm-atomic-warn] Fiddle ARM atomic.h to avoid -Wvolatile-register-var warnings.


Trunk GCC has -Wvolatile-register-var on by default and this hits in
some atomic.h macros because __typeof (*ptr) is leaking volatile-ness
into the non-pointer declarations and being treated as 'register volatile'.

I only did a basic compile test (with trunk gcc for arm-linux-gnueabi).
I looked at one file where I'd been getting the warning (nptl-init.c)
and the generated code differed only in reordering a couple of (non-atomic)
loads whose order shouldn't matter.

Ok?


Thanks,
Roland
