For context, the series is basically ready now, but I'm intending to
rebase it atop v5.13-rc1 before posting (e.g. since s390 just moved to
ARCH_ATOMIC), and plan to post that early next week.

If you want an early look, my atomics/arch-atomic branch on kernel.org
has the WIP (atop v5.12):

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=atomics/arch-atomic
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git atomics/arch-atomic

.. and the riscv-specific changes are just renames:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/commit/?h=atomics/arch-atomic&id=3f7f7201eb4f4548cfb609019e7110b30ae598fc

Thanks,
Mark.
