As it seems these comments were obsolete in the kernel and the code
documentation will be changed in an upcoming kernel version. Patches on the
lkml were already acked by different arch developers.
As result we can use atomic_t as datatype with a 32 bit range since 2.6.3. I
would like to promote the patch version with atomic_t instead of atomic64_t
for 32 bit seqno. Marek already declared that he would prefer the version with
atomic_t. Maybe you can check too if you can ack this change.
Best regards,
Sven
