The rte_atomicNN_* family was flagged for deprecation in 2021 by

This series finishes converting every remaining in-tree caller to
the C11-style rte_atomic_*_explicit() / RTE_ATOMIC() API, then
marks the legacy functions __rte_deprecated so future in-tree and
out-of-tree uses are caught at compile time.
The goal of this series is to get driver writers to review and
test each change.
v5 - rebase now that ring changes are merged.
- drop the barrier (rte_smp_mb) patch not required.
